Aoyého'(Tuyo': [jǒːxʲʏ̯ho˞], Yuguche: [ɑwːjɛ́ʋʷoʔ])is a Velar Ogbami dialect continuum spoken by various peoples, with the Tuyo' having the most speakers as of 2024. It is the most spoken Ogbami "language"(if one considers it a singular language) by number of native speakers, with 300,000 native speakers of at least one dialect as of June 2024. It is used as a lingua franca in the Aoyetohu Nations, and it is also an official language in the Sleeping Bull Confederacy, though hundreds of other minor nations in the region have specific Aoyého' dialects as official or minority languages.

The language was first propagated by the Yasicha culture in the Age of Straw, before being replaced by the White Tracks culture that spread their dialect of the language across the Aotwaxu Basin and across the eastern Ogbami watershed via trade with the Tso-tso and Tumachee. In the Age of Clay, various empires, both local and foreign, used Aoyého' to communicate among their subjects, with regional dialects like Tuyo', the Wichita dialects and the Ka'kreeh dialects diverging around this time.
