Namuyi (Namuzi; autonym: na⁵⁴ mʑi⁵⁴) is a poorly attested Loloish[3] language of Sichuan and Tibet. It has also been classified as Qiangic by Sun Hongkai (2001) and Guillaume Jacques (2011). The eastern and western dialects have low mutual intelligibility. In Sichuan, it is spoken in Muli County and Mianning County.
