Lalo (; Western Yi) is a Loloish language cluster spoken in western Yunnan, China by 300,000 speakers. Speakers are officially part of the Yi nationality, and Chinese linguists refer to it as "Western Yi" due to its distribution in western Yunnan. Lalo speakers are mostly located in southern Dali Prefecture, especially Weishan County, considered the traditional homeland of the Lalo.〔Yang, Cathryn. 2009. ''Regional variation in Lalo: Beyond east and west''. La Trobe Papers in Linguistics, 12. http://arrow.latrobe.edu.au:8080/vital/access/HandleResolver/1959.9/146522.〕 Historically, this area is the home of the Meng clan, who ruled the Nanzhao Kingdom (737–902 CE). Many Core Lalo claim to be descendants of the Meng clan. ==Demographics== Cathryn Yang (2010) gives the following demographic information for various Lalo languages. Combined, speakers of Lalo languages number fewer than 300,000 people. *Central Lalo: 213,000 speakers across west-central Yunnan in Weishan County, Nanjian County, Jingdong County, and several others *West Lalo: 44,000 speakers Yongping County, Yangbi County, and Longyang County *East Lalo: 15,000 speakers in Dali County *Yangliu: 7,000 speakers in Yangliu, Longyang District, Baoshan Prefecture *Eka: 3,000 speakers in Yijiacun, Heliu, Shuangjiang County, Lincang Prefecture〔http://www.ynszxc.gov.cn/villagePage/vdefault.aspx?departmentid=138494〕 *Mangdi: 3,000 speakers in Mangdi, Hepai, Gengma County, Lincang Prefecture;〔http://www.ynszxc.gov.cn/villagePage/vIndex.aspx?departmentid=117844〕〔http://www.ynszxc.gov.cn/villagePage/vIndex.aspx?departmentid=123589〕 also in Cangyuan County *Xuzhang: 2,000 speakers in Xuzhang, Wafang, Longyang District, Baoshan Prefecture〔http://www.ynszxc.gov.cn/villagePage/vIndex.aspx?departmentid=97873〕〔http://www.ynszxc.gov.cn/villagePage/vIndex.aspx?departmentid=97938〕 Wang & Zhao (2013) divide Western Yi (彝语西部方言) into two dialects, namely Dongshan and Xishan.〔Wang Xingzhong () & Zhao Weihua (). 2013.
