"Mauphu" (autonym: mau²¹pʰu³⁵) is spoken by only about 20 speakers in the single village of Dagulu 大咕噜, Guangnan County, Yunnan, China. Middle-aged speakers remember a few phrases.
My informant was Dai Baizhi 代柏芝 (born May 30, 1947; 68 years old), who used to be a schoolteacher.
Mauphu and Motang have different phrases for 'eat rice'.
zei21 sei33 (Mauphu)

Mauphu has some words beginning with ts- where other Mondzish languages have s- instead, suggesting that Proto-Lolo-Burmese *ts- > s was an innovation that spread after Mondzish diversified, but did not originate in Proto-Mondzish.
Mauphu and Motang are closely related languages, and form a group (or pair) within Mondzish.
