The Chinese sentence ending is 呢 (ne in Mandarin), it would be interesting to know if that's related.

(I've just started learning Mandarin, and enjoy looking at the origin of words and characters.)

"Innit" is slang in Britain, used at the end of a sentence. It doesn't have to mean "isn't it", but could be "aren't you", "won't you" etc.
