The Kitara language, commonly known as Runyakitara, is an artificial standard language based on four closely related languages of western Uganda:

  • Nyoro or Runyoro
  • Kiga (Chiga) or Rukiga
  • Nkore or Runyankole
  • Tooro or Rutooro

    • The Google interface has been translated into Kitara in February 2010 by the Faculty of Computing and IT, Makerere University.
