Kili (Kirin, Kila), known as Hezhe or more specifically Qileen (奥罗克 Qílēi'ēn) in Chinese and also as the Kur-Urmi dialect of Nanai, is a Tungusic language of Russia and China. Nanai is a Southern Tungusic language, and Kili has traditionally been considered one of the diverse dialects of Nanai, but it "likely belongs to the northern group".[2]
