Koro is a language spoken in a few Himalayan villages in the East Kameng district of the state of Arunachal Pradesh in northeast India . Koro, one of the Tibetan Burmese languages , is only spoken by around 4,000 people and was only discovered in 2008 by linguists as part of the Enduring Voices project in the course of research into the also Tibetan Burman language Aka .
The Koro speakers belong to the Aka tribal people. Therefore, their language (also by the speakers themselves) was considered a dialect of the Aka language, which belongs to the Hhrusian languages . According to the latest results of the linguists, the language threatened with extinction differs fundamentally from the Aka, which is dominant in the area of distribution, and also differs from all other Tibetan-Burmese languages.
Koro has not been written and is considered an endangered language .
