The Sarikoli language (also Sariqoli, Selekur, Sarikul, Sariqul, Sariköli) is a member of the Pamir subgroup of the Southeastern Iranian languages spoken by the Pamiris in Xinjiang, China and Chitral, Pakistan. It is officially referred to as "the Tajik language" in China, although it is different from the Tajik language spoken in Tajikistan, which is closely related to Persian.
