'''Urum''' ({{lang|uum-Cyrl|Урум}}, {{lang|uum-Grek|Ουρούμ}}) is a [[Turkic language]] spoken by several thousand [[Greeks|ethnic Greeks]] who inhabit a few villages in southeastern [[Ukraine]]. Over the past few generations, there has been a deviation from teaching children Urum to the more common languages of the region, leaving a fairly limited number of new speakers.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.endangeredlanguages.com/lang/3004|title=Did you know Urum is endangered?|website=Endangered Languages|language=en|access-date=2017-02-10}}</ref> The Urum language is often considered a variant of [[Crimean Tatar language|Crimean Tatar]].
