11-20-2000 Hmong (Sino-Tibetan) belongs to the Miao-Yao branch of the Sino-Tibetan family of languages. Hmong is spoken by the Hmong people of Vietnam. Linguists call this language Miao or Meo, but those names have negative connotations and thus are hateful to the Hmong people, although these names persist outside Vietnam. Hmong is also spoken in the United States. Miao is also spoken in Laos, Thailand, and in China. There are many dialects, some named for the tribes which speak them. The language was originally written using the Chinese ideographs, but in 1904 a missionary named Samuel Pollard invented the so-called Pollard Script, which was then used for many years. Now, however, the Latin alphabet is being increasingly used. 996 The Asian Pacific American heritage. -- [S.l.] : A8324 Garland Pub., 1999 RID: 98-33468 ITEM #: swa00007 428.3495919 English-Hmong phrasebook ...
