Aluo (autonym: ɑ55 lo33 pho55[2]) is a Loloish language spoken by the Yi people of China. It is also known by its Nasu name Laka (also Gan Yi, Yala, Lila, Niluo). It is spoken in north Wuding, Luquan, and Yuanmou counties, Yunnan, and in Huili and Miyi counties, Sichuan. Gao (2017)[3] reports that Aluo (autonym: a⁵⁵lu³³pʰu⁵⁵; also known as the Gan Yi) is spoken in northwestern Wuding County as well as in Sichuan.

Gao (2017:31) notes that in Wuding County, Yunnan, Aluo and Naluo are equivalent terms for the same Yi subgroup. Naluo in the Wuding County Gazetteer (1990) actually refers to Aluo speakers (Gao 2017:31). Naluo is not to be confused with Naruo, a Taloid (Central Loloish) language of northern Yunnan.

YYFC (1983)[4] documents Aluo (autonym: ʔᴀ⁵⁵lɑ̱³³pʰo⁵⁵) of Dongpo Township 东坡傣族乡, Wuding County, Yunnan.
