The Shor language (Шор тили) is a Turkic language spoken by about 2800 people in a region called Mountain Shoriya in the Kemerovo Province in south-central Siberia. In the history of the Turkic states and China Shors played an important role mostly connected with their offshoot Shatuo. Presently not all ethnic Shors speak Shor and the language suffered a decline from the late 1930s to the early 1990s. However the dissolution of the Soviet Union brought about the Shor lingual revival.
