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.

gollark: Where *are* you?
gollark: Go initiate apiological telephony.
gollark: Anyway, desirable properties of the number assignment system are: idempotence, and allowing you to move channels while retaining number. This is NOT possible with multiple per guild as far as I can see.
gollark: Ah, well, problem is that if it's in TWO places with an epicbot bridge there *may* be infinite loops.
gollark: I could also eventually refactor it to allow two, I think the obstacle is just the numbering mechanism.
