Luren is closely related to Caijia and Longjia.[1] However, the classification of these languages within Sino-Tibetan is uncertain. Zhengzhang (2010) suggests that Caijia and Bai form a Greater Bai branch,[4] while Sagart argues that Caijia and Waxiang represent an early split from Old Chinese.[5]

In Dafang 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 Almanac 1996:157).
