Yunnan (1979)[83] lists the following ethnolinguistic groups that are classified as Yi.

  • Mengwu 孟武 (exonym: Awu 阿武) of Xichou County. Population: 1,243 as of 1960. Yunnan (1979) lists Mengwu 孟武 twice, and in another entry lists Mengwu 孟武 of Maguan County and Xichou County with a population of 1,379. Also known as Lai () (autonym; a branch of the Awu 阿武, also called Mengwu 孟武):[84] in Xisa 西洒镇, Xichou; Daping 大坪镇 and Nanwenhe 南温河乡 of Malipo.
  • Sanda 三达 of Dazhai, Sanda Township, Jinghong City (景洪市三达乡大寨). There were only 2 elderly women who remembered about 40 words. Yunnan (1979) classifies Sanda as a Yi language, but also notes that it has many words of Hani origin. The Sanda have no autonym. Population: 946 as of 1960.
  • Datou 达头 of Pu'er and Simao. Population: 254 as of 1960. Their traditions and festivals are similar to those of the Yi people of Weishan County.
  • Aciga 阿次嘎 of Lancang County. Spoken in Yakou Township 雅口乡[85] and Nanxian Township 南现乡[86] (now Nuozhadu Town 糯扎渡镇). Population: 50 as of 1960. 100 years ago, they had migrated from Niujian Mountain 牛肩山, Zhenyue County 镇越县 (now renamed as Mengla County), and had spoken a different language that is now extinct. They now speak Chinese and Yi. Aciga is an exonym, as the Aciga do not have an autonym.

A Yi language called Zhayipo 扎依颇 (dza²¹ʑi²¹pʰo²¹) is spoken in Mile County.[27]

Lewu of Jingdong Yi Autonomous County, Yunnan is an extinct Loloish language.
