**Vori** (also called **Surubu** or **Skrubu**) is a [Kainji language](/source/Kainji_language) of [Nigeria](/source/Nigeria).

[Roger Blench](/source/Roger_Blench) (2016)[2] reported that the people referred to as *Surubu* in the present literature are called *Vori*. Their main centre is the town of [Geshere](/source/Geshere,_Nigeria), which is west of [Mariri](/source/Mariri,_Kaduna_State) on the [Lere](/source/Lere,_Kaduna_State) road. The Vori live in 32 settlements, and there are about 50,000 to 70,000 speakers.

[Bina](/source/Bina_language), another undocumented language, is spoken nearby.
