The Võro language is a Finno-Ugric language spoken primarily in the Võrumaa region of Estonia. It is considered a dialect of Estonian, but it has distinct features that set it apart, including unique vocabulary and pronunciation. The language is part of the broader Uralic language family, which also includes Finnish and Hungarian. Võro has a rich cultural heritage and is used in local literature, music, and traditions. Efforts have been made to promote and preserve the language, including its recognition as a cultural language in Estonia. Today, there are ongoing initiatives to teach and revitalize Võro among younger generations.
