One of the pioneers on Tungusic research, V. Cincius, for instance, considered Evenki, Solon, Negidal, and Oroqen to be dialects (along with a fifth "North Evenki dialect"), and she considered Nanai, Orok, Ulcha, and Kile to be dialects of one language.
Nevertheless, her use of "dialect" was probably meant in the same way that we will use the term "language", as suggestive of the point where mutual intelligibility breaks down between Tungusic varieties.

The Oroqens have left no enduring mark on world history, and perhaps for this reason they are little known outside their tiny sphere of influence in northeastern China.
Given the demographics of Oroqen speakers and the fact that Oroqen is not being transmitted to children, it is clear that the language will cease to be spoken in twenty to fifty years barring extraordinary measures by members of the community.
In the name of modernization, the Oroqen were compelled to denounce their traditional hunter-gathering activities in favor of communal living with other minorities and the Han majority.
