Iŋomœ́ ('our tongue') is a language of the Western language family, spoken c. -2000 YP on the Peilaš steppe. The name the speakers gave to their cultural group was Sánhilu:pyl (singular Sánhilu:b), meaning 'horse people', though this term could also be applied to any nomadic group, as opposed to the settled peoples of the coast.
