Xiqi (Chinese: 西期; autonym: ɕi33 tɕhi33 pho21)[1] is an unclassified Loloish language of Huaning County, Yunnan, China. It is also called Siqipo 斯期颇 (sɿ55 tɕhi55 pho21) in Mile County.[2]

Classification

Pelkey (2011:431)[3] suggests that the Xiqi, Ati, and Long languages of Huaning County may be Southeastern Loloish languages. Hsiu (2018) suggests a Northern Loloish affiliation.[4]
