Kili (Kilen, Kirin, Kila), known as Hezhe or more specifically Qile'en (Chinese: 奇勒恩; pinyin: Qílè'ēn) in Chinese and also as the Kur-Urmi dialect of Nanai, is a moribund 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".[3]
