Gciriku or Dciriku (Diriku) also known as Manyo or Rumanyo is a Bantu language spoken by 305000 people along the Okavango River in Namibia where it is a national language in Botswana and in Angola. It was first known in the west via the Vagciriku who had migrated from the main Vamanyo area and spoke Rugciriku a dialect of Rumanyo. The name Gciriku (Dciriku Diriku) remains common in the literature but within Namibia the name Rumanyo has been revived.
