Auyokawa (Auyo), also known as Tirio, is an extinct Afro-Asiatic language formerly spoken in Auyo LGA, Jigawa State, Nigeria.^[2]^[3] It is known primarily from a list of numbers, the names of the days of the week, and a phrase.^[1]

Auyokawa/Auyakawa people are also found in Gwaram LGA, Jigawa state, Nigeria. They migrated to this location following the conquest of the Auyo kingdom when Fulani jihad was at its peak.
