The Jin dynasty referred to the Jurchen language with the term ''Guoyu'' ("National language"), which was also used by other non-Han dynasties in China to refer to their languages, like the [[Manchu language]] during the [[Qing dynasty]], the [[Mongolian language]] during the [[Yuan dynasty]], the [[Khitan language]] during the [[Liao dynasty]], and the [[Xianbei language]] during the [[Northern Wei]].
