'''Nyisu''' or '''Yellow Yi 黄彝''' is a [[Loloish languages|Loloish]] language of [[Kunming]], central Yunnan, China. There are fewer than 300 speakers remaining according to Bradley (2005, 2007). Nyisu speakers are also referred to as '''Doupo 都泼'''.<ref name="AsiaHarvest">{{Cite web |title=China |url=http://asiaharvest.org/index.php/people-group-profiles/china/ |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130801062653/http://asiaharvest.org/index.php/people-group-profiles/china/ |archive-date=2013-08-01 |access-date=2013-07-19 |website=Asia Harvest |language=en}}</ref>

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).<ref name="Bradley2005">{{Cite journal |last=Bradley |first=David |date=2005 |title=Sanie and Language Loss in China |journal=International Journal of the Sociology of Language |language=en |volume=2005 |issue=173 |pages=159–176 |doi=10.1515/ijsl.2005.2005.173.159}}</ref> It is most closely related to [[Nuosu language|Suondi Yi]] according to Bradley (2005). Nyisu (''{{IPA|ȵi55 su33 pho21}}'') was also documented by Lama (2012) in Luomian Township 罗免乡, [[Fumin County]].

Pelkey (2011) tentatively classifies Nyisu of [[Shilin County]] as belonging to the [[Nisu language|Nisu]] language cluster. Nyisu (''{{IPA|ȵi55 su33 pʰu55}}'') of Gaohanshan Village, Zhuqing Township, [[Shilin County]] is documented in Wu Zili (1997) and YNYF (1984). It is not known whether Nyisu of Shilin and Nyisu of Kunming are closely related.
