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.

- /c ɟ/ and /k g/ merge to [c ɟ] prior to /i e/
- /c ɟ/ and /k g/ merge to [k g] prior to /u/
- /ʧ ʤ/ and /t d/ merge to [t d] prior to /o u/
- /ŋ ɴ/ merge to /ŋ/ medially
- /ʎ ʟ/ merge to [ʟ] and /ɲ ŋ/ merge to [ŋ] initially
- /ɹ/ is [r] medially
- unstressed /a e i o u/ are realized as [ɒ ɛ ɪ ɔ ʊ]
- stressed plosives are aspirated
