Kua-nsi (kʰua˧n̩˨˩sɨ˥; Chinese: 跨恩斯话; Hedong Yi 河东彝) is a recently discovered Loloish language of Heqing County, Yunnan, China.

Gomotage (ɣɔ˨˩mɔ˧ta˥ɣə˨˩), an undocumented and little-known Loloish language of Eryuan County, is also probably related to Kua-nsi (Yang 2010:7).[2]

The Kua-nsi live in the following villages of Liuhe Township 六合乡, northern Heqing County (Castro, et al. 2010:23).[3]
