Awu Language
Awu () (autonym: '), is an unclassified Loloish language of Yunnan, China. It is spoken in Yuanyang County, Yunnan, China, including in the village of Xiaopingzi 小坪子, Daping Township 大坪乡 (Lu & Lu 2011).Lu Peng 卢鹏; Lu Wei 路伟. 2011. 国际哈尼/阿卡区域文化调查: 中国元阳县大坪哈尼族阿邬人文化实录. Kunming: Yunnan People's Press 云南人民出版社. Classification Andrew Hsiu (2017) suggests that Awu is related to Lawu of Xinping County, Yunnan, and that the two form a ''Lawu'' or '' Lawoish'' language branch.

Lewu, an extinct language, may have been related. Identity and names The Awu consider themselves to be a separate ethnic group from the Hani people, including the Nuobi.
