    Do you know mandarin originated from the mongol and the Jin.

    Originate is the wrong word. It have elements of Manchurian. By the way, do you know that no one speaks Manchurian anymore and that it is a dead language like Latin? So don't go around telling people that Mandarin is Manchurian or you only disgraced yourself.
