Runyoro is a Bantu language spoken by the Nyoro people of Uganda. It has two dialects: Orunyoro and Rutagwenda. Runyoro forms part of the basis for the standardised language called Runyakitara, which is made from four closely related languages of western Uganda: Runyoro, Rukiga, Runyankole and Rutooro (Runyoro is most closely related to Rutooro).
