Yamphu is a Tibeto-Burman language spoken by the Yamphu Rai, a Kiranti people of the Himalayas of Nepal. Tomyang (Chongka) is a recently discovered dialect spoken by only 20 people. Both it and Yamphe are distinct. Southern Yamphu is also considered to be Southern Lorung. These varieties are all closely related.
