The use of Miqie is largely depending on the specific village context, namely the rate of intermarriage of Miqie with Chinese or other ethnic groups such as Lipo (called Lisu). Most Miqie villages are in a village cluster with other ethnic groups, including Han, Lipo, Lolo, Nasu, Hani, and Miao. Most elders and some middle-age Miqie speak the languages of the groups near their village and as well as Mandarin.
