'''Koro''' is a possibly [[Sino-Tibetan languages|Sino-Tibetan language]] spoken by approximately 800–1,500 people in the [[East Kameng district]] at the western end of [[Arunachal Pradesh]], [[India]]. Few speakers are under 20 years old.<ref name=NG/> The people live among the [[Hruso people|Aka (Hruso)]], but their language is only distantly related, with distinct words for numerals, body parts, and other basic vocabulary.<ref name=NG>Morrison, Dan [http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2010/10/101005-lost-language-india-science/ "'Hidden' Language Found in Remote Indian Tribe"].

==Identification==
Recognition in the academic literature of Koro as a distinct language goes back at least to the 2009 edition of the ''Ethnologue'' (Lewis 2009), which based its findings on a language survey conducted in 2005. It notes that Koro has only 9 percent lexical similarity with Hruso Aka, and that it is "highly dissimilar to neighboring languages".<ref>Lewis, M. Paul (ed.), 2009. ''Ethnologue: Languages of the World'', Sixteenth edition. Dallas, TX: SIL International, "Hruso".[http://www.ethnologue.com/show_language.asp?code=hru]</ref>

In October 2010, the ''National Geographic Daily News'' published an article corroborating the findings of the ''Ethnologue'' based on research conducted in 2008 by a linguistic team of [[K. David Harrison|David Harrison]], [[Gregory Anderson (linguist)|Gregory Anderson]], and Ganesh Murmu while documenting two [[Hruso languages]] ([[Hruso language|Aka]] and [[Dhammai language|Miji]]) as part of [[National Geographic Society|National Geographic]]'s "[[Enduring Voices]]" project.<ref name= NG/> It was reported to them as a dialect of Aka, but turned out to be highly divergent.

Mark Post and [[Roger Blench]] (2011)<ref>Post, Mark W. and Roger Blench (2011). "Siangic: A new language phylum in North East India", ''6th International Conference of the North East India Linguistics Society'', Tezpur University, Assam, India, Jan 31 – Feb 2.</ref> propose that Koro is related to [[Milang language|Milang]] in a branch, or perhaps independent family, they call [[Siangic languages|Siangic]].
