'''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). Nyisu speakers are also known as '''Doupo 都泼'''.<ref name="AsiaHarvest">Bradley,{{cite Davidweb|url=http://asiaharvest. 2007org/index.php/people-group-profiles/china/ "East|title=Archived andcopy Southeast|accessdate=2013-07-19 Asia"|deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20130801062653/http://asiaharvest.org/index.php/people-group-profiles/china/ |archivedate=2013-08-01 |df= }}</ref>
