Tujia (Bizisa) is the language of the Tujia people, China's eighth-largest ethnic minority, distributed across the Wuling Mountains spanning Hunan, Hubei, Guizhou, and Chongqing. Of roughly 8 million ethnic Tujia, only about 10% — mostly elders in remote villages — still speak the language natively; the majority have shifted to Mandarin. Northern and Southern Tujia are now sufficiently divergent that linguists often treat them as separate languages within Tibeto-Burman.
