Tor Tajiks are Tajiks indigenous to the village of Tor in Xinjiang, China. The Chinese government officially regards them as members of the "Tajik nationality", along with the non-Tajik, Sarikoli- or Wakhi-speaking Pamiris of Tashkurgan County. Although they are Iranic Tajiks, they speak a Turkic language unique to their ethnicity.
