Shoksha (Erzya: шокшот, romanized: šokšot, Russian: шокша, romanized: shoksha) is an ethnographic group of Erzya people. It is named after the village of Shoksha [ru] in Tengushevsky District, Mordovia.^[1]^[2] They live mostly in Mordovia, Tengushevsky District and Torbeyevsky District. They speak the Shoksha dialect [de; ru], a dialect of Erzya language formed under the influence of Moksha language because for a long time Shokshas have been living surrounded by Mokshas. The ethnonym is relatively recent.^[3]
