Nyoro is a Northeast Bantu language spoken by about 670,000 people in the Bunyoro(-Kitara) Kingdom (Obukama bwa Bunyoro-Kitara), a traditional Bantu kingdom in the Western Region of Uganda. The Kingdom covers the districts of Buliisa, Hoima, Kibaale, Kakumiro, Kagadi, Kiryandongo and Masindi.
Nyoro is also known as Runyoro or Orunyoro. There are two dialects: Runyoro proper an Rutagwenda. It is closely related to Tooro (Orutooro). Nyoro and Tooro are classified as one language, known as Nyoro-Tooro, Runyoro-Rutooro, or Orunyoro-Orutooro, by the Ministry of Education of Uganda, although other sources classify them as separate languages.
The first Nyoro grammar and dictionary was published in 1902 by Harry Edward Maddox, a Protestant missionary. The spelling system he used differs somewhat from the standar orthography for Nyoro-Tooro created in 1947. Nyoro is used in schools, in literature and on the radio.

Atwooki Justus nyizire nebigambo byange
Mutege amatu muhurre
Kandi mukimanye ngu
Ensi enu eitulimu bagenzi bange eri nkenyanja
Haroho omuyaga nyamwingi nuguhuba
Ebigonzi nibyetera
Ogigendeho mpora noyekenga
nukwo ebigonzi bitakutwara
kolesa obwongo
