Jino, or Jinuo, is a pair of Loloish languages spoken by the Jino people of Yunnan. The two languages, Youle (10,000 speakers) and Buyuan (1000 speakers out of an ethnic population of 20,000), are not mutually intelligible. There is no official written form. Most Jino also speak one of the Tai languages or Chinese.
