The U'wa language, also known as U'waka (autonym meaning "the soul of the people") and frequently referred to as Tunebo, is a Chibchan language of Colombia, spoken by the U'wa people. Dialects at the time of European contact, as described by the U'wa, include the Duit dialect (in Duitama), Sinsiga (in Chita, and likely Róyota and Cobaría), Tunebo (in Margua, Sínsiga, Bocota and Cubugón), Tegría (apparently in the Pamplona Valley and Uncacía del Sarare, in North Santander).
