'''Nyisu''' or '''Yellow Yi 黄彝''' is a moribund [[Loloish languages|Loloish]] language of [[Kunming]], central Yunnan, China. There are fewer than 300 speakers remaining according to Bradley (2005, 2007).<ref>Bradley, David. 2007. "East and Southeast Asia".</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>Bradley, David. 2005. "Sanie and language loss in China".''International Journal of the Sociology of Language''. Volume 2005, Issue 173, Pp. 159–176.</ref> It is most closely related to [[Nuosu language|Suondi Yi]] according to Bradley (2005), but Pelkey (2011) tentatively classifies Nyisu as related to [[Nisu language|Nisu]].
