Awu (Chinese: 阿务), also known as Lope (autonym: lo214 pʰɯ21[3]), is a Loloish language of China . Awu is spoken in Luxi, Mile, Luoping, and Shizong counties (Ethnologue). It is closely related to Nisu (Lama 2012).[4]
Northern Awu is a distinct language. Ethnologue lists Northern Awu and Southern Awu as dialects.
YYFC (1983)[5] documents Awu (阿乌) as spoken in Jieyupo, Shemu Village, Dongshan Township (东山公社舍木大队捷雨坡村), Mile County, Yunnan.[6]
