Zhaba, also known as Bazi, Bozi, Draba, nDrapa, Zaba, Zha (Chinese: 扎坝语 or 扎巴语), is a Qiangic language of Sichuan, China spoken by about 8,000 people in Daofu County and Yajiang County. The Zhaba, who are officially classified by the Chinese government as ethnic Tibetan people, refer to themselves as [ndʐa55pɪ31] and to the Zhaba language as [ndʐa35ʂka55].[2] Neighboring Khams Tibetan speakers refer to the Zhaba people as [ndʐa55pa55]. Zhaba speakers live primarily in the Xianshui River 鲜水河 valley.[2]
Descriptions of Zhaba include Huang (1991)[3] and Gong (2007).[2] Huang & Dai (1992)[4] document the Queyu dialect spoken in Zhatuo Village 扎拖村, Zhatuo Township 扎拖乡, Daofu County, Sichuan.
/ʐ/ and /r/ may interchange word-initially; but they are contrastive when occurring in the second syllable of words.

Ethnologue (21st edition) lists two dialects of Zhaba:
Drate (Northern nDrapa)
Drame (Southern nDrapa, Zhami)
