Notes
- Mrass and Kondoma have traditionally been considered dialects of a single language, despite the fact that they belong the different branches of Turkic and are reported to be mutually unintelligible.
- The total number of Shor speakers is around 2,800. This includes speakers of both Kondoma and Mrass, which are treated separately here.
- Although Shor has no official status, Mrass has been promoted as the literary standard and has been given a writing system. Grammars and dictionaries that refer to "Shor" generally refer only to Mrass, and not to Kondoma.

- Lower Mrass (Нижнемрасский говор): spoken along the Mrass river from the Khomutov rapids its confluence with the Tom, and on the left bank of the Tom from the mouth of the Mrass to the village of Balbyn'. Forms the basis for the literary language.
