Ati (Chinese: 阿梯/阿替) is an unclassified Loloish language of Huaning County, Yunnan, China.

Classification

[edit]

Pelkey (2011:431)[1] suggests that the Xiqi, Ati, and Long languages of Huaning County may be Southeastern Loloish languages. Hsiu (2018) also suggests a Southeastern Loloish affiliation.[2]
