The Tujia language (Chinese: 土家语 pinyin: Tǔjiāyǔ) is a language spoken natively by the Tujia ethnicity in south-central China. It is unclassified within the Tibeto-Burman language family due to pervasive influence from neighboring languages. There are two dialects one Northern and one Southern. Both dialects are tonal languages with the tone contours of ˥ ˥˧ ˧˥ ˨˩. The Northern dialect has 21 initials while the Southern dialect has 26 (with 5 additional aspirated initials).
