Seto (Script error: No such module "Lang".;[2] Template:Langx) is a dialect of South Estonian spoken by 25,080 people.[3] It is sometimes identified as a variety under Võro, or the two are described as Võro-Seto. Setos (Script error: No such module "Lang".) mostly inhabit the area near Estonia's southeastern border with Russia in Setomaa, and are primarily Eastern Orthodox, while Võros (Script error: No such module "Lang".) are traditionally Lutherans and live in historical Võru County.
