    The Tujia people have their own language. The Tujia language belongs to the Tibeto-Burman language family of the Sino-Tibetan language family. It is divided into two major dialect areas, the north and south, including Yongshun County, Longshan County, Baojing County, Guzhang County in Xiangxi Tujia and Miao Autonomous Prefecture, Laifeng County, Xuan'en County in Enshi Tujia and Miao Autonomous Prefecture, and Youyang Tujia and Miao Autonomous County in Sichuan.

    In these areas, there are still some Tujia people who use their own language as a communication tool.

    Chinese is now spoken in some Tujia areas, but there are still some remnants of the Tujia language in their lives. Judging from their remains, historically they also used the northern dialect of Tujia language. These areas are:

    Dayong County, Sangzhi County, Huayuan County in Xiangxi Tujia and Miao Autonomous Prefecture and Cili County, Shimen County in Changde Region, Enshi City, Jianshi County, Badong County, Xuan'en County, Xianfeng County, Lichuan County, Laifeng County, Hefeng County in Xiangxi Tujia and Miao Autonomous Prefecture and Changyang County, Wufeng County, Xiushan County, Qianjiang County, Pengshui County and Shizhu County in Sichuan City.

    The southern Tujia dialect is typically represented in Huxi County in Xiangxi Tujia and Miao Autonomous Prefecture, and is still used as a communication tool in this area. The Tujia people in Jishou City, Fenghuang County, Tongren County, Songtao County, Yanhe County, Sinan County, Yinjiang County, and Dejiang County in Guizhou Province in Xiangxi Tujia and Miao Autonomous Prefecture also used the southern dialect in history, and now they have switched to Chinese. The general characteristics of the Tujia vocabulary are:

    There are more words that reflect economic life such as agriculture, forestry and animal husbandry, and fewer words that reflect modern science and technology, modern production and political life, culture and education, and express generalizations and abstract concepts. The basic grammatical structure of Tujia is subject-object-predicate word order. �

    Historically, the Tujia ancestors created and used their own writing. After Qin destroyed Bashu, measures to unify the script were adopted, and the script of the Tujia ancestors was abolished. In today's daily life, Chinese is commonly used.
