Vori (also called Surubu or Skrubu) is a Kainji language of Nigeria.
Roger Blench (2016)[3] reports that the people referred to as Surubu in the present literature are actually called Vori. Their main centre is the town of Geshere, which is west of Mariri on the Lere road. The Vori live in 10 settlements, and there are about 3,000 to 4,000 speakers.
Bina, another undocumented language, is spoken nearby.
