Every word in your Nuosu reading passage is clickable. Get English translations and grammar help as you read the modern Yi syllabary.
Type any topic and LingoBear generates a fresh Nuosu reading passage — useful when published material is concentrated in Liangshan.
Nuosu (also called Northern Yi or Sichuan Yi) is the most widely spoken Loloish language within the Sino-Tibetan family, used by around 2 million Yi people in Liangshan Yi Autonomous Prefecture in southwestern Sichuan, China. It is one of around six major Yi languages, which together have over 4 million speakers across China, Vietnam, Laos, Thailand and Myanmar.
Traditional Yi writing — a logographic script with thousands of characters — was simplified in 1974 and officially standardised in 1980 into a modern syllabary of 819 syllables (each a unique character), with diacritics for one of four tones. Nuosu is normally written left to right in this syllabary today, although historic texts and ritual writings still use the older logographic forms.
