Language

The Oroshori language is a dialect of Shughni. Linguistically, Oroshori has close affinities towards the Bartangi and Sarikoli language although it's more closely related to the former. Due to the Oroshoris' proximity to Kirghiz groups, there is evidence of mutual linguistic influence.[2]
