Kuamasi (pronounced as /kʰua33 ma33 sɨ55/; ; Songping Yi 松坪彝) is a recently discovered Loloish language of Heqing County, Yunnan, China. They are known by the Kua-nsi as pronounced as /kʰua33 ma33 sɨ55/. The Kuamasi are found in Matang 麻塘,[1] Songping Village 松坪村, Liuhe Township 六合乡, Heqing County (Castro, et al. 2010).[2] A Loloish language spoken in Daying Village 大营村,[3] Songgui Town 松桂镇 is also likely closely related to Kuamasi (Castro 2010:23).
