Nuosu or Nosu (ꆈꌠꉙ or written in traditional script, transcribed as Nuo su hxop), also known as Northern Yi, Liangshan Yi, and Sichuan Yi, is the prestige language of the Yi people; it has been chosen by the Chinese government as the standard Yi language and as such is the only one taught in schools. It is spoken by two million people and is increasing (as of PRC census); 60% were monolingual (1994 estimate).
