Uru is also called Ochosuma (Uchuzuma), a historical name for the Uru ethnic group. In 2010, there was 1 single native speaker left of this language. By 2012 the language had no speakers left. However, the Uru community has been interested in revitalizing their language and maintaining their culture.
