Ili Turki language

Ili Turki is an endangered[2] Turkic language spoken primarily in China, of the Karluk branch of Turkic.

Speakers are shifting to Kazakh or Uyghur.

Ili Turki has no official status in either country.

Ili Turki appears to belong to the Karluk group of Turkic languages, although it exhibits a number of features that suggest a Kipchak substratum.
