Turka (Turuka) or Curama (Cuuramã, Tchourama, Tyurama), is a Gur language which is spoken by the Turka people in southwest Burkina Faso. Its closest linguistic relative is the Cerma language: however, they are not mutually intelligible. Due to economic, religious and educational influence, many Turka people also speak Arabic and Jula.^[2]
