Korce is a language spoken in a few isolated areas of the great plains of [[Lheinead]]. Korce speakers generally constitute minorities or enclave majorities inside of predominantely Kang-Eur settlements, which speak a seperate language [[Sezara]]. The Korce speakers are believed to have spread from the northeast onto the plains and to have occupied small sections of the pre-existing cultures.
