Koro is a recently identified language spoken in northeast India. Part of the Tibeto-Burman language family, no other languages from the this linguistic grouping appear to be closely related to Koro. Koro was identified serendipitously by the National Geographic Society's Enduring Voices Project as part of a 2008 effort to document two other poorly known languages, Aka and Miji. With fewer than one thousand speakers, few of whom are under the age of twenty, Koro is considered a highly endangered language^[1].
