Nuosu (or Nosu) (Nuosu: Pronunciation: ''Nuosuhxop''), also known as Northern Yi, Liangshan Yi, and Sichuan Yi, is the prestige language of the Yi people; it has been chosen by the Chinese government as the standard Yi language (in Mandarin: ''Yí yǔ'', 彝語/彝语) and, as such, is the only one taught in schools, both in its oral and written forms. It is spoken by two million people and is increasing; 60% are monolingual. Nuosu is the native Nuosu/Yi name for their own language and is not used in Mandarin Chinese; although it may sometimes be spelled out for pronunciation (''nuòsū yǔ'' 诺苏语/諾蘇語), the Chinese characters for ''nuòsū'' have no meaning.〔Zhu Wenxu etc. 朱文旭、木乃热哈、陈国光 Yi-yu basic course 彝语基础教程 Central Minorities Publishing Co. 中央民族大学出版社 (2006-04出版)〕 The occasional terms 'Black Yi' (Mandarin: ''hēi Yí'' 黑彝) and 'White Yi' (''bái Yí'' 白彝) are castes of the Nuosu people, not dialects. Nuosu is one of several often mutually unintelligible varieties known as Yi, Lolo, Moso, or Noso; the six Yi languages recognized by the Chinese government hold only 25% to 50% of their vocabulary in common. They share a common traditional writing system, though this is used for shamanism rather than daily accounting. ==Dialects== The Qumusu 曲木苏 (Tianba 田坝) dialect is the most divergent. The other dialects group as ''Niesu 聂苏'' ( and Adu) and as ''Nuosu proper'' (Muhisu 米西苏, Yinuo 义诺, and Shengzha 圣乍). Niesu (distinguish Nesu) has lost the voiceless nasals and has developed a couple diphthongs.〔Lama, Ziwo Qiu-Fuyuan (2012), ''Subgrouping of Nisoic (Yi) Languages'', thesis, University of Texas at Arlington〕 The Yellow Yi (黄彝) of Kunming, central Yunnan, who call themselves Nisu, also speak a Northern Yi dialect (Bradley 2005). The Yellow Yi had originally migrated from Sichuan, and live in 4 villages in northwestern Fumin County (endangered) and 1 village in northwestern Anning County (moribund, highly endangered).〔Bradley, David. 2005. "Sanie and language loss in China".''International Journal of the Sociology of Language''. Volume 2005, Issue 173, Pp. 159–176.〕 It is most closely related to Suondi Yi (Bradley 2005). 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Nuosu language」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
