The Nisoish or Yi languages, which contains both the Northern Loloish (Northern Ngwi) and Southeastern Loloish (Southeastern Ngwi) branches, are a branch of the Loloish languages proposed by Lama (2012). Northern Loloish and Southeastern Loloish were established by Bradley (1997), while the Nisoish group combining Bradley's two branches was proposed by Ziwo Lama (2012). Lama (2012) refers to Northern Loloish as Nisoid or Nisu–Lope, and Southeastern Loloish as Axi–Puoid.

Classification history

In the past, Southeastern Loloish languages had variously been classified as Northern Loloish or Central Loloish, but were later recognized as forming a separate branch of Loloish by Bradley (2002).^[1] Jamin Pelkey (2011:368-371) also noted that Southeastern Loloish and Northern Loloish branches are likely to be sister branches with each other. Shortly later, Ziwo Lama's (2012) computational phylogenetic analysis of the Lolo-Burmese languages gave further support to Pelkey's hypothesis. Northern Loloish and Southeastern Loloish languages were also found to constitute a single branch in Satterthwaite-Phillips' (2011) computational phylogenetic analysis of the Lolo-Burmese languages, who considers Nasu, Nosu, Nisu, and Samei as belonging to the same branch.^[2]

Languages

Lama (2012)'s Nisoish branch is contains two subgroups, namely Axi–Puoid (also known as Southeastern Loloish) and Nisoid (also known as Northern Loloish). Lama (2012) gives the following internal phylogeny for the Nisoish branch.

Nisoish

Axi–Puoid

Puoid

Zuoke, Pholo (≈ Phowa)

Axioid

	Azha

	Sani (–Samei), Azhe–Axi

Nisoid (Nisu–Lope)

Lope (Awu)

	Nuosu (incl. Qumusu, Niesu)

	Nasu (incl. Nesu, Gepo)

Nisu (Nishu)

Four of the six Yi languages (fangyan 方言) officially recognized by the Chinese government belong to Lama's Nisoish clade.

Northern Yi (Nuosu 诺苏)
Eastern Yi (Nasu 纳苏)
Southern Yi (Nisu 尼苏)
Southeastern Yi (Sani 撒尼)

However, the remaining two of the six officially recognized Yi languages belong to Lama's Lisoish clade.

Western Yi (Lalo 腊罗)
Central Yi (Lolopo 倮倮泼)

Phonological innovations

Lama (2012) lists the following changes from Proto-Loloish as phonological innovations among various branches and languages of Nisoish.

*NC- > NCʰ (Nasu and Gepu)
*s- > ɕ- (Zuoke and Polo)
*xl- > ɬ-, h- (Sani, Axi, Azhe, Azha)
*plh- > tʰ- (Nisoid)
*ŋg- > (n)dz-, dz- (Nisoid)
