Wambule is the language of the Wambule Rai, one of the Kiranti tribes of eastern Nepal. Wambule is spoken by more than 5,000 people living around the confluence of the Sunkosi and Dudhkosi rivers near Kui-Bhir Hill. The Wambule-speaking area comprises the southernmost part of Okhaldhunga district, the westernmost part of Khotang district, the northernmost part of Udaypur district, and the northeasternmost part of Sindhuli district.

Some others names by which the Wambule language is also known from the literature are 'Chouras'ya' , 'Chourase' and 'Umbule'. The Wambule use several native and Nepali names to designate their language, such as 'Vambucauras Raduyor' (Vambucauras Rai language), 'Vambule', 'Caurasia', 'Ombule', 'Umbule' and 'Vambule'. The language most closely related to Wambule is the western neighbour Jero.
