Abstract:

This book is a collection of the spontaneous narratives in Niesu, an
under-studied member of the Ngwi (aka. Loloish) subgroup of the Burmic (aka.
Burmese-Lolo or Burmese-Ngwi) language group of the Tibeto-Burman family
(Bradley 1997, 2012). It is spoken by 662,922 people, who are officially
recognized as Yi (彝族) (exonym) by the Han Chinese, residing in mountainous
regions in Liangshan (literally 'Cool Mountains'), Sichuan, southwest China. 

Niesu [nie33 su33] is the autonym of the Niesu Yi people, with two
sense-bearing morphemes, namely nie33 'black' and su33 'people', which means
'black people'. Niesu is the southeastern dialect of Nuosu which is a
relatively well-studied variety of Nuosu proper. The current book is the first
collection of texts based on Adur Niesu, spoken in Butuo, central Liangshan.
