The Kurtöp language (Dzongkha: ཀུར་ཏོ་པ་ཁ་; Wylie: Kur-to-pa kha; Kurtöpkha, also called Kurtö and Zhâke) is a member of the Tibeto-Burman language family spoken in the Kurtoe Gewog, Lhuntse District, Bhutan. There are about 10,000 speakers of Kurtöp.
Historically, the language and its speakers have had close contact with speakers of Bumthangkha, Nupbikha and Khengkha, nearby languages of central and eastern Bhutan to the extent that they may be considered part of a wider collection of "Bumthang languages."
