Ikryo is a language of Kaduna State, according to Roger Blench's Atlas of Nigerian Languages (2020), which classifies it as Plateau. The Atlas places it in Kachia LGA. Other names include ìkryó, West Kuturmi. With Obiro it is called West Kuturmi; Glottolog has a single 'Kuturmi' languoid (kutu1262) in its Kuturmi–Ajiya group, so no code is set.

- Needs corroboration: The evidence is thin or incomplete; more sources are being sought.
- Disputed: Credible sources or community accounts disagree; the differing accounts are noted.
- Uncertain: There is not yet enough information to classify this responsibly.
