<small>''Main article: [[Tuyo']]''</small><br>
Tuyo'(<small>Tuyo':</small> [[Help:IPA|[dʌ̌jo˞]]]) is the most spoken dialect of Aoyého' by native speakers, at 86,221 speakers, or around 28.7% of all native speakers of Aoyého', and it is not generally considered part of any wider dialect group. It is primarily  spoken by the Tuyo' and Dwuu peoples of the Nagša and Owhewi rivers, two tributaries of the Ogbami river.


The dialect is mostly characterised by its special use of the apostrophe: it only appears after vowels and denotes the previous vowel as [[R-colored vowel|rhotacized]]. This unique use of the apostrophe in Tuyo' is often called the "Tuyo' r" by linguistics, but it is called the ''jáásro'' in Tuyo' and the ''Dého-uurhó''(''lit.'' "Tuyo' roar") in most other dialects.
