Katso, also known as Kazhuo or Khatso (autonyms: kʰɑ⁵⁵tso³¹, kɑ⁵⁵tso³¹; Chinese: 卡卓), is a Loloish language of Xingmeng Township (兴蒙乡), Tonghai County, Yunnan, China. The speakers are officially classified as ethnic Mongols, although they speak a Loloish language. Over 99% of the residents township speak Katso, and Katso is used as a means of daily communication, though it is fading amongst younger speakers.
