WEITERE KOMMENTARE		"Although Yolmo [scp] and Kagate could be considered dialects of the same language, there are sufficient historical and political motivations for considering them as separate languages." (Lauren Gawne 2013) Kagate is an exonym and Syuba is the endonym for both the language and the community, and sometimes serves as a family name.

Many identify as ethnically Tibetan with Nepali citizenship, and related but different from Yolmo. Codeswitching is not uncommon, though unmixed language is ideal. Most surveyed Syuba speakers love their language and find it most beneficial. There is strong enthusiasm and participation in language project workshops, recording, literacy and dictionary development.
