Rivers Cuomo[1], sometimes simply called Rivers(ɔtlequɔɔmo, [o̞t͡ɬeqʷo̞ːmo]) is a Cuomoy language spoken in the Long Rivers Reservation(Rivers: Tlongiquɔɔmo). Rivers Cuomo is the most spoken Cuomoy language by amount of native speakers, with about 500,000 native speakers. Most live in the largest urban area of Long Rivers, El Scorcho(Rivers: Neyaantluu). Philologically speaking, it has been shown to be very closely related with other Cuomo languages like Ionach(sometimes called Jonas) and Mykkarlii, which as led to some linguists to propose the existence of a Cuomoy sub-family, most often dubbed the Riveraya languages.

Rivers Cuomo is a highly agglutinative VSO language that also frequently omits the subject in favour of context dependence.
