It's called assimilation.
Because you can't be the foreign conqueror of several hundred million people and expect to stay on the throne without trying to appease them by adopting their culture and language. Kublai and the Yuan did it. Mughals did it. Ptolemies did it. Royal Hautevilles of Sicily did it. Rurikids did it. The House of Hanover did it.

Like any time steppe nomads conquered sedentary populations. I think the only counter-examples would be Uzbekistan and Hungary.

OTOH for instance the Kushans turned from man-eating terror of the Transoxian steppes into Greek-speaking Hindus/Buddhist pacifists.

To be fair, he wanted to be Roman before he sacked Rome. He specifically tried to negotiate a rank in the Roman army and lands for his people on the border of Dacia to act as a buffer against the Huns. And he tried to keep the sack of Rome civil. Churches were untouched and anybody who sought shelter in a church would be unharmed as "we are all Christians here."

Honorius went full retard.

They still pretty much assimilated: converted to Christianity, changed to an agraruan lifestyle, the only thing that got carried over was the language. Today there is little known about pre-11th century Hungarian culture.

Manchus/Jurchens weren't actually nomadic, more cold forest/river valley subsistence farmers in Manchuria/Maritime Siberia. Still definitely were considered "barbarians" and alternately vasselized by the Han and Koreans until they finally unified the 8 Banners and invaded China proper.

It's rare that a conqueror imposes his culture on his conquests, you really need a race with an unusually certain sense of their own righteousness, as with the Romans or the Victorians.

The Bulgars and Avars come to mind.
Early Slavs were great at assimilating everyone for some reason

>Their conquest was mainly done by ethnic "Han" soldiers and administered by "Han" officials.

The concept of being culturally "Chinese"(Hua) was never just limited to the Han,who would much rather relate with local identities(such as a fallen polity) rather than a true ethnicity proposed by late Qing revolutionaries.
