		The Oropom (or Iworopom, Oworopom, Oyoropom, Oropoi) are the aboriginal inhabitants of much of Karamoja in Uganda and probably Turkana District in Kenya; their descendants have largely been assimilated into the more recently arrived Iteso and Karamojong groups.
		People considering themselves Oropom were (as of 1970), according to Wilson{{refWilson}}, particularly concentrated within the Karamoja area in Matheniko and Jie counties, and to a lesser extent in Bokora; some were also found among the Tepes people of Mt. Moroto and Mt.
		Some areas were unaffected by this battle, and Oropom remained between Lolachat and Namalu in Pian county in Nakapiripirit District, and in the area between Mt. Elgon and Mt. Kadam.

	Oropom language - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Oropom (or Oworopom, Oyoropom, Oropoi) is an almost certainly extinct African language, once spoken in northeastern Uganda and northwestern Kenya between the Turkwel River, Chemorongit Mountains, and Mount Elgon, by the Oropom ethnic group.
		On this basis, Wilson concluded that it must have had at least two dialects: one spoken around the Turkwel area, containing a significant number of Luo words, and some Bantu words, one around Matheniko county with fewer Luo words.
		However, in the absence of further work, Oropom remains an unclassified language, and is sometimes seen as a language isolate.
