Lu, or Luren (卢人), is an extinct Sino-Tibetan language of Guizhou, China. The Luren language may have been extinct since the 1960s.^[1]^[5]

Luren is closely related to Caijia and Longjia.^[2]^[1] However, the classification of these languages within Sino-Tibetan is uncertain. Zhengzhang (2010) suggests that Caijia and Bai form a Macro-Bai branch,^[6] while Sagart argues that Caijia and Waxiang represent an early split from Old Chinese.^[7]

InDafang County, Guizhou, the Lu people are located in Huangni 黄泥乡, Dashui 大水乡, Gamu 嘎木乡, and Shachang 纱厂镇 townships (Dafang County Gazetteer 1996:157).
