Piyo (Biyo, Biyue) is a Loloish language of China, with a few thousand speakers in Laos. The people are ethnic Hani, and the "Bi-Ka" varieties (Biyo, Kaduo, Enu) are traditionally considered dialects. However, in the classifications of Bradley (2007) and Lama (2012), they are more distinct from Hani than other related languages are. Lama classifies Mpi as closer to Biyo dialect than Kaduo is.

Ximoluo (Chinese: 西摩洛; also called Enu) is a Bi-Ka language spoken by 14,000 people of the Hani nationality in Yunnan, China.[1]
