Barbuz(bërbëzg, Barbuz: [bæʁbæzg]) is a Barbuzic language spoken in central Talkoch. It is one of the most spoken non-Moshurian languages in the Moshurian Empire, being spoken by about 5 million people natively, and one of the only agglutinative Yeldhic languages, aside from other languages in the Barbuzic language family.

Their exonym, "Barbuz", comes from Middle Moshurian Barbüze(Moshurian: [bɑɽˈbyːzə]), which was a Moshurianised form of their endonym bërbëzg. Their exonym in Moshurian may have been based on their exonym in Ilda, which was barbusās, or its Maranz equivalent, balbošas.
