Urakhi (also Khyurkili)[1] is a dialect of Northern Dargwa [ru] spoken by around 35,000 people[2] in Sergokalinsky District, the northern portions of Akushinsky District and in the villages of Gerga and Krasnopartizansk [ru] in Kayakentsky District. Along with the Aqusha dialect [ru], it formed the basis for the literary Dargwa language.
