Oroshori, orRoshorvi areIranian peoples of thePamir group who are native to theGorno-Badakhshan Autonomous Region of easternTajikistan.[2] A 1972 estimate put the population of the Oroshoris at around 2,000.[2]
The Oroshori language is a dialect ofShughni. Linguistically, Oroshori has close affinities towards theBartangi andSarikoli language although it's more closely related to the former. Due to the Oroshoris' proximity toKirghiz groups, there is evidence of mutual linguistic influence.[2]
