Yongbei Zhuang, is a Zhuang variety including the dialects of Yongning North, Binyang, Hengxian, and Pingguo dialects. 'Yongbei' 邕北 is Chinese and here means North of the Yongjiang river, in other contexts it can stand for the north of Yongning County, or Yongning North.

Yongbei is traditionally assumed to include Wuming dialect, the basis of Standard Zhuang. However, recent investigation has found that Wuming is part of Yongnan Zhuang.
