Alu (Chinese: 阿鲁) is an unclassified Loloish language of Yunnan, China . It is spoken in Jinping Miao, Yao, and Dai Autonomous County, Lüchun County, Jiangcheng Hani and Yi Autonomous County, and Yuanyang County, Yunnan. The Alu are also referred to by other ethnic groups as Luwu 鲁乌 or Luowu 倮乌.[1] There are also 500 to 600 Alu people in two villages of Ou Tay District, Phongsali Province, Laos.[2]

The Alu also have a mouth organ with five pipes that they play during the "Abei festival 阿卑节" ("maiden festival").[3]

Classification

Hsiu (2017)[4] suggests that Alu may be related to Lalo, but that this is uncertain due to the lack of data.
