U is spoken in Shuangjiang County of Yunnan and other nearby counties.[2]

There two main dialects of U in Shuangjiang County: one spoken in Gongnong (公弄, now part of Mengku Town, 勐库镇) and one spoken in Bangbing (邦丙) and Dawen Mangga (大文乡忙嘎); the Dawen dialect is reportedly mutually intelligible with that of Shidian County (Shuangjiang County Ethnic Gazetteer 1995:160).

Phonology


U has four tones, high, low, rising, falling, which developed from vowel length and the nature of final consonants.
