Queyu (Choyo, Choyu) 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.
Suzuki & Wangmo (2016)[2] 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)[4] document the Queyu dialect spoken in Youlaxi Township 尤拉西乡,
Xinlong County, Ganzi Prefecture, Sichuan.
