The Lipo language (native name: li55 pʰɔ21; Chinese: 傈坡语), also known as eastern Lisu, is a language of the Lisu people of China, similar to but not intelligible with the Lisu language proper. Some Lipo are classified by the government as Lisu, others as Yi. In some areas, the people prefer the name Lolopo (or Lolongo).
Some Lipo (Lipa 利帕) speakers in Bingchuan and Yongsheng counties are also referred to as Tujia (土家) (Yunnan 1956:19-20).
