Runyakitara language

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Runyakitara is a recent standardized form (dating to the early 1990s) of four linguistically closely-related languages of western Uganda:

• Nyoro or Runyoro
• Chiga or Rukiga
• Nyankore or Runyankole
• Tooro or Rutooro

It might be considered a koine of the abovementioned tongues.
