Phupha, or Downriver Phula, is a dialect cluster of Loloish languages spoken by the Phula people of China . There are four principal varieties, which may be considered distinct languages:
- Phupha, Alugu (Alugu Phupha)
- Phupa, Phuza
Usage is decreasing apart from Alugu, which is taught in primary schools.
The representative Phuza dialect studied in Pelkey (2011) is that of Bujibai (补鸡白), Lengquan Township (冷泉镇), Mengzi County.
