Queyu (Choyo, Choyu) is a poorly attested Qiangic language of Yajiang County and Xinlong County, Sichuan, as well as Tibet. 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:[3]

  • Youlaxi Township 尤拉西乡, Xinlong County (Wang 1991; Huang ed. 1992)[4][5] (which also has Western Horpa speakers[6])
  • Rongba Township 绒坝乡, Litang County (Nishida 2008)[7]
  • Tuanjie Township 团结乡, Yajiang County (Lu 1985; Sun ed. 1991)[8][9]
  • Xiala Township 呷拉乡, Yajiang County (Prins & Nagano 2013)[10] (which also has Dao speakers[11])

Suzuki & Wangmo (2016)[3] consider the Lhagang Choyu language to be similar to but not part of Choyu proper, which consists of the four dialects listed above.

Huang & Dai (1992)[5] document the Queyu dialect spoken in Youlaxi Township 尤拉西乡, Xinlong County, Ganzi Prefecture, Sichuan.

Lhagang Choyu

Lhagang Choyu (Chinese: Tagong Queyu 塔公却域語) is a Qiangic language similar to Choyu recently described by Suzuki & Wangmo (2018).[12] It is spoken in Tage [Thabs-mkhas] Hamlet, southwestern Tagong [lHa-sgang] Town, Kangding [Dar-mdo] Municipality, Sichuan Province, China. It used to be spoken in Xiya 西雅 Hamlet of the same township (Suzuki & Wangmo 2016:63). Lhagang Choyu is an endangered language with about 100 speakers.
