Adu (Chinese: 阿笃) is an unclassified Loloish language of Huaning County, Yunnan, China.

Classification

[edit | edit source]

Pelkey (2011:431)[1] suggests that the neighboring Xiqi, Ati, and Long languages of Huaning County may be Southeastern Loloish languages. Hsiu (2018) also suggests a Southeastern Loloish affiliation.[2]
