Varieties
There are three different varieties of Ku.[1] Speakers of each consider themselves to be separate ethnic groups.[2] However, they are officially classified by the Chinese government as ethnic Yi.[3]
- Ku (autonym: ku55) is spoken in Bainitang 白泥塘,[4] Shede Township 舍得彝族乡, Qiubei County, Yunnan Province. They are also locally known as the Bo (Chinese: 僰人; pinyin: Bó rén), and continue to build hanging coffins. The Ku of Bainitang claim that their ancestors had migrated from Yibin, Sichuan.[5]
- Another variety of Ku (autonym: ku55) in Wujiazhai 五家寨,[6] Shede Township 舍得彝族乡, Qiubei County, Yunnan Province is unintelligible with Ku of Bainitang 白泥塘.[7]
- Ku of Shidongmen 石洞门,[8] Xijide Village 西基得村, Zhulin Township 珠琳镇, Guangnan County, Yunnan Province[9]
gollark: As planned.
gollark: Indeed.
gollark: There are mesh networks in a few places, but I don't think they've gotten massively wide adoption because the average consumer doesn't really care (and they still need to interact with the regular internet, which is hard and beelike).
gollark: Phones spend tons of battery power on communicating with faraway towers when they could also practically relay data via nearby devices on lower power for non-real-time data.
gollark: Anyway, as much as I somewhat disapprove of ☭ in general, the current hierarchical structure of consumer internet connectivity is ridiculous and inefficient and would probably have been replaced if it wasn't for the hardproblemness of good mesh networking.
