Syuba (also Syubaa, Shyuba, or Xiuba) is a Tibetic language spoken in Nepal and the Indian state of Sikkim, mainly by the Syuba. The majority speakers of the Syuba language live in the Ramechhap region of Nepal, spanning from the Chinese (Tibetan) border in the east to the Bhotekosi River in the west. About 5,000 speakers live in Nepal. Syuba is predominantly a spoken language, although it is occasionally written using either the Devanagari or Tibetan script.
