Yurta (natively known as: Юртӹ чылме, Yurtă cĕlme, IPA: [ˈɪ̯urtʌ̹ ˈt͡ʃɨlme]) is an isolate language spoken by the indiginous Yurta people of northern Sauthar, primarily in the Yurta autonomous region and adjacent areas, and the Yurta diaspora. Approximantly 1/7th of the Yurta population is monolingual due to them living in rural areas. There are 3 dialect groups of Yurta, northern, southern and island, only the norhtern and island variaeties are still spoken daily.
