It is one of six Yi languages recognized by the government of China. The Yi script was traditionally used, though few can still read it.[2] According to Lama (2012), Nisu (Nishu) autonyms include ne\u032033 su55, ne\u032033 su55 p\u02b0o21, and \u0272e\u032033 \u0282u55.The position of Nisu within Nisoish is debated. Nisu is classified as Southeastern Loloish by Pelkey (2011), but is traditionally classified as a Northern Loloish language, including by Lama (2012).Table of ContentsInternal classification[edit]Chen et al.

(1985:114) recognizes three major varieties of Southern Yi (i.e., Nisu) spoken in Yunnan province: Shijian (\u77f3\u5efa; Shiping-Jianshui), Yuanjin (\u5143\u91d1; Yuanjiang-Jinping), and Exin (\u5ce8\u65b0; Eshan-Xinping). Autonyms include na\u032033 su55 and na\u032033 su55 pho21 (alternatively ne\u032033 su55 pho21). Chen (1985) reported a speaker population of nearly 1.6 million.Shijian \u77f3\u5efa\u571f\u8bed: spoken in Shiping, Jianshui, Tonghai, Gejiu, Kaiyuan, Mengzi, and Hekou countiesYuanjin \u5143\u91d1\u571f\u8bed: spoken in Yuanyang, Jinping, Mojiang, Yuanjiang, Pu’er, Jiangcheng, and Honghe countiesExin \u5ce8\u65b0\u571f\u8bed: spoken in Eshan, Xinping, Jiangchuan, Yuxi, Yimen, and Kunming countiesYang (2009)[edit]Yang (2009) classifies the Nisu dialects as follows.Northern NisuNorth-central (Shijian \u77f3\u5efa): spoken in Shiping, Xinping, Jiangcheng, Mojiang, and L\u00fcchun countiesNorthwestern (Exin \u5ce8\u65b0): spoken in Eshan and Jinning countiesSouthern Nisu (Yuanjin \u5143\u91d1): spoken in Honghe, Yuanyang, Jinping, Yuanjiang, Shiping, and perhaps also Jianshui countiesFar Northwestern Nisu: spoken in Beidou Township (\u5317\u6597\u5f5d\u65cf\u4e61), Yongping County (descendants of Nisu soldiers who migrated to Yongping during the early Ming Dynasty; most divergent Nisu variety)The Jiangcheng, Mojiang, and L\u00fcchun varieties were grouped by Chen (1985) to be southern varieties, but Yang (2009) found that they actually belonged to the Northern Nisu group.Other varieties[edit]Other Nisu or Southern Yi groups with similar autonyms or language varieties are:A variety of Southern Nisu (autonym: \u0272e33 su55 p\u02b0o21) spoken in Aka Luoduo (\u963f\u5361\u6d1b\u591a) village (also called Taiping village; \u592a\u5e73\u6751),[11] Tianfang Village (\u7530\u623f\u6751), Jiangcheng County is covered in Lu Yan (2008).In Tonghai County, Southern Yi (Nisu) is spoken by all generations only in Xiangping (\u8c61\u5e73), Bajiao (\u82ad\u8549), Sizhai (\u56db\u5be8), Shikan (\u77f3\u574e), Pingba (\u5e73\u575d), Shangzhuangke (\u4e0a\u5e84\u79d1), and Xiazhuangke (\u4e0b\u5e84\u79d1) villages.Phonology[edit]Consonants[edit]Vowels[edit]Diphthongs \/i\u025b, i\u0320\u025b\u0320\/ occur with alveolo-palatal consonants \/t\u0361\u0255, t\u0361\u0255\u02b0, d\u0361\u0291, \u0255, \u0291\/ in complementary distribution, in the Laochang dialect.Open-mid sounds \/\u025b, \u025b\u0320\/ only occur in the Shaochong dialect.Rhotic vowels \/\u0259\u02de, \u0259\u02de\u0320\/ occur mainly in the Northwestern dialects.Sounds \/i, i\u0320\/ are heard as syllabic consonants [z\u0329, z\u0320\u0329] when following alveolar sibilants or affricates, and as syllabic retroflex [\u0290\u0329, \u0290\u0320\u0329] when following retroflex ones.Tones[edit]3 tones occur as follows:NamePitchSymbolLow (falling)21\u02e8\u02e9Mid33\u02e7High55\u02e6References[edit]Blackburn, P.
