Roger Blench (2016)[3] reported that the people referred to as Surubu in the present literature are called Vori. Their main centre is the town of Geshere, which is west of Mariri on the Lere road. The Vori live in 32 settlements, and there are about 50,000 to 70,000 speakers.

Bina, another undocumented language, is spoken nearby.
