Loloish language spoken in China
For ‘Azha, the language related to Mongolian, see Tuyuhun language.
Azha is one of the Loloish languages spoken by the Yi people of China.
Innovations
In Azha, the words for ‘goat’, ‘eat’, and ‘drink’ are innovative (Pelkey 2011:377). Luojiayi Azha[2] /mɛ33 xɛ33/ ‘goat’, /la̠45/ ‘eat’, /ŋɨ33/ ‘drink’ are not derived from Proto-Ngwi *(k)-citL ‘goat’, *dza² ‘eat’, and *m-daŋ¹ ‘drink’.
