Choyo language

Queyu is a Qiangic language of Yajiang County and Xinlong County, Sichuan. It is similar with and shares a name with Zhaba, but the two languages are distinct from each other.

Dialects

The four dialects of Choyo are those of:

Youlaxi Township 尤拉西乡, Xinlong County
Rongba Township 绒坝乡, Litang County
Tuanjie Township 团结乡, Yajiang County

Suzuki & Wangmo consider the Lhagang Choyu language to be similar to but not part of Choyu proper, which consists of the four dialects listed above.
