Ku (autonym: ku55) is a Loloish language cluster of southeastern Yunnan, China.
Varieties
There are three different varieties of Ku.[2] Speakers of each consider themselves to be separate ethnic groups.[1] However, they are officially classified by the Chinese government as ethnic Yi.[3]
- Ku (autonym: ku55) is spoken in Bainitang 白泥塘,[4] Shede Township 舍得彝族乡, Qiubei County, Yunnan Province. They are also locally known as the Bo (Chinese: 僰人; pinyin: Bó rén), and continue to build hanging coffins. The Ku of Bainitang claim that their ancestors had migrated from Yibin, Sichuan.
- Another variety of Ku (autonym: ku55) in Wujiazhai 五家寨,[5] Shede Township 舍得彝族乡, Qiubei County, Yunnan Province is unintelligible with Ku of Bainitang 白泥塘.
