In China, the Ewenki people are composed of three groups: the Solon Ewenki, the Tungus Ewenki, and the Yakut Ewenki though 90% of the Ewenki are the Solon. However, Solon Ewenki (Manchurian Ewenki) is linguistically different from the other two which belong to Siberian Ewenki. But Tungus Ewenki and Yakut Ewenki are regarded as dialects of Solon Ewenki in China.
