Nyisu or Yellow Yi 黄彝 is a moribund Loloish language of Kunming, central Yunnan, China. There are fewer than 300 speakers remaining according to Bradley (2005, 2007).^[1] The Yellow Yi had originally migrated from Sichuan, and live in 4 villages in northwestern Fumin County (endangered) and one village in northwestern Anning, Yunnan (moribund, highly endangered).^[2] It is most closely related to Suondi Yi according to Bradley (2005), but Pelkey (2011) tentatively classifies Nyisu as related to Nisu.
