For those downvoting aidenn0's comments, I was surprised to find that "untyped" is indeed a common term that includes what many people (myself included) call dynamically typed. See the three top-voted answers to this Stack Overflow question, one of which includes a citation from TaPL, a standard text (emphasis added):
"A type system is a tractable syntactic method ... Terms like 'dynamically typed' are arguably misnomers."

I still prefer the term dynamically typed, because there are useful distinctions about value types to be made among such languages, such as those described in striking's link.
