Koro (language)

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, as part of an effort begun in 2008 by the National Geogrpahic Society's Enduring Voices Project to document two other poorly known languages, Aka and Miji. With less than one thousand speakers, few of whom are under the age of twenty, Koro is considered a highly endangered language^[1]
