The coding for this language is a bit tricky. ISO 639-2 defines the code iii for Sichuan Yi/yi de Sichuan. Although I cannot find the documentation, it seems that the ISO 639-1 code ii corresponds exactly to this. SIL have posted iii as the code for Sichuan Yi also, but confusingly used III in Ethnologue 14, with the part-2 code sit (Sino-Tibetan (other)). Ethnologue treats Yi as a group of closely related languges, and does not have a code for an overall Yi macrolanguage. Perhaps, this article should be renamed Yi languages, with the main language, Sichuan Yi being discussed in its own article. Ethnologue codes twenty-four individual Yi languages. --Gareth Hughes 12:17, 14 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Guardian reference

This article got a mention in The Guardian in 2006, criticising wikipedia. It pointed out the large article on Jordan the topless model, and the small article concerning this language spoken by millions of people. --MacRusgail 19:44, 15 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] IPA chart

A request for a chart containing all the phonemes and vowels of Yi has been made. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.223.82.114 (talk) 23:05, 14 September 2007 (UTC)
