Nyoro

or Bunyoro

Bantu-speaking people of west-central Uganda. Until the 18th century the Bunyoro kingdom included present-day Uganda. It declined in the 18th and 19th century, surrendering its preeminence to the Buganda kingdom. It was brought into the Uganda Protectorate by the British. Today the Nyoro, numbering about 700,000, live in scattered settlements and cultivate millet, sorghum, and plantains.
