Kili (Kilen, Kirin, Kila), known as Hezhe or more specifically Qile'en ({{zh|s=奇勒恩|p=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".Alexander Vovin, "Tungusic Languages", in the Encyclopedia of Language and Linguistics, 2006
