Tooro, or Rutooro, is a Bantu language spoken mainly by the Toro people (Batooro) from the Toro Kingdom region of western Uganda. There are three main areas where Rutooro as a language is mainly used and they are Kabarole District, Kyenjojo District and Kyegegwa District. Rutooro is unique among Bantu languages as it lacks lexical tone.[3] It is most closely related to Runyoro.
