Nyoro language
Nyoro or Runyoro (Orunyoro, [oɾuɲôɾo]) is a Bantu language spoken by the Nyoro people of Uganda. It has two dialects: Runyoro proper and Rutagwenda. A standardized orthography was established in 1947. It's most closely related to Rutooro.
The Nyoro language acquired Central Sudanic loanwowrds from the Ma'di language in the 13-15th centuries during the Bachwezi era, when the early expanding Banyoro community absorbed Madi people whose previous territory extended south of the Nile into what is now northern Bunyoro. Runyoro burrowed various Madi words, such as the word for bellows, ostrich, sugarcane and donkey.
The Nyoro language later received Nilotic loanwords from the Luo languages after the migration of the Babiito and Palwo into Bunyoro.
