'''Aoyého''''(<small>Tuyo':</small> [[Help:IPA|[ | '''Aoyého''''(<small>Tuyo':</small> [[Help:IPA|[jǒxʲʏ̯ho˞]]], <small>Yuguche:</small> [[Help:IPA|[ɑwːjɛ́ʋʷoʔ]]])is a Velar [[Ogbami languages|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. | 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.

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. | 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]].

The dialect, especially the variation spoken by the people of the same name, often features rising tones where in other dialects there would be a high tone or simply no tone in the same place. | |||
===Wichita dialects=== | |||
The Wichita dialects, despite sharing a name with the [[w:Wichita people|Wichita people]] and [[w:Wichita Mountains|mountain range]] are unrelated to either of these names. Instead the dialects get their name from the [[Chub]] word ''uhéj-ctaa'', meaning "overripe blueberries", as the forest where "Proto-Wichita" was spoken was known by the local Chub tribe for its blueberries that ripened quickly, making it a great area for the production of blueberry wine. This word was erroneously romanised as "Whichitar", which simplified to "Wichita". To this day, the wine from this forest is still called "Wichita wine". | |||
In comparison, the name for the mountain range, city and people probably comes from the [[w:Muscogee language|Creek]] word ''we-chate'',<ref>See [[wikt:Wichita#Etymology|''Wichita'']] on Wiktionary.</ref> meaning "red water". | |||
