Pelkey (2011)

Jamin Pelkey (2011) lists the following languages in Southeastern Ngwi (Southeastern Loloish). Four branches of Southeastern Loloish are recognized, namely Nisu, Sani–Azha, Highland Phula, and Riverine Phula.

• Nisu: Nyisu?; Northern Nisu, Southern Nisu [+ Lope]
• Sani–Azha: Sani, Axi; Azhe; Azha [+ Samei?]
• Highland Phula:
  • Muji:
    • Core Muji: Northern Muji, Qila Muji, Southern Muji, Bokha–Phuma; Muzi; Laghuu
    • Thopho
    • Moji
  • Phowa:
    • Ani Phowa, Labo Phowa
    • Hlepho Phowa, Phukha
    • Khlula, Zokhuo
• Riverine Phula:
  • Upriver: Phola, Alo Phola, Phala
  • Downriver:
    • Phupa, Phuza
    • Phupha, Alugu

Pelkey (2011b)^[1] contains a comparative word list of Phola (Upriver Phula), Phuza (Downriver Phula), Muji (Highland Phula), Phowa (Highland Phula), and Azha.

Bradley (2007) had classified Sani, Axi, Azhe, and Azha as forming a Southeastern Central subgroup of Central Loloish, but Pelkey (2011) reclassified them as Southeastern Loloish rather than Central Loloish languages.

Also, Pelkey (2011) notes that Southeastern Ngwi may be most closely related to Northern Ngwi (including Nosu and Nasu), which is in line with Lama's (2012) proposal of a Nisoish clade.

Chen (1985)

Chen, et al. (1985)^[5] also recognizes a similar group called Southeastern Yi (彝语东南部方言), which includes the following dialects.

• Wenxi 文西土语 (Wenshan-Xichou): spoken in Wenshan, Xichou, Yanshan, Malipo, Maguan, Funing, Guangnan, and Qiubei counties. Internal variation is greatest within the Wenxi lect.
