More Hmong Stuff.
« on: May 02, 2012, 06:34:17 pm »

Hmong people do not have their own country.

There are different types of hmong. These different names are based on their dialect
and where they are from.

Some of the more common types of Hmong are:
-White Hmong
-Green Hmong
-Lang Hmong
-Stripe Hmong
-Blue Hmong
-Chinese Hmong

There are quite a few. Here in the States, the more common ones are White Lang and Green.

WHite speaks for politely. Properly.
Lang has a slangish accent to it.
Green has a thick accent.

This I didn't know, very interesting--thanks for sharing!

Basically the only knowledge I had of hmongs has been because of the murder that happened in the Northwoods a few years ago.  I have several friends with cabins (hunting/fishing) in the Northwoods and that incident was a shocking one that they were all talking about for several months because it was so unexpected, brutal and sad.
