Alingpo (a55 le21 pho21;[2] Chinese :阿灵泼; also called Yiqing 彝青 or Dry Yi 干彝) is a Loloish language of eastern Yunnan, China.
Classification
[edit ]Li, et al. (2011) classify Alingpo as an Eastern Yi language similar to Nasu and Gepo. However, Hsiu (2018)[3] notes that it is a Southeastern Loloish language closely related to Lope, Axi, Azhe, and Azha.
Distribution
[edit ]Alingpo is spoken by tens of thousands of people in Shizong County and Luoping County. In Shilin County, Alingpo is spoken in only one village, Yimeidu village 矣美堵村,[4] by about 100 people.[1] In Shilin County, Alingpo speakers are surrounded by Sani speakers.
