Lopa consists of a pair of minor Kainji languages of Nigeria. The Lopa people neighbouring the Busa language have shifted to that language.

The two languages are Rop (Ollop) and Urcibar (Shuba). Additionally, there is a native name for both dialects as a whole: Rerang, which is unusual in West Kainji languages.[2]

Blench (2019) lists Tsupamini as a related variety.[3]

McGill (2012) also gives the alternate name Oleran for Lopa.[4]
