The Uru language, also known as Iru-Itu (after one of the Uru tribes), Morato, or Muratu, is the language of the Uros, an Amerindian people. In the year 2000 it had 2 remaining native speakers out of an ethnic group of 100 to 150 people in the La Paz Department, Ingavi Province, near Lake Titicaca in Bolivia, the rest having shifted to Spanish and Aymara. The language is close enough to the Chipaya language to sometimes be considered a dialect of that language.
