just wondering, anyone here hmong? I know alot of hmong people drive toyotas, especially camry, corolla, and celica. i know the majority of hmong people are in minnesota, wisconsin, and california. some other main states they reside are north/south carolina, wisconsin, arkansas, missouri, michigan, colorado, rhode island, mass., florida, and washington. so just wondering if there's any hmong people on this website. i thought it would be kool to meet hmongs from all across the USA! and maybe from the world? i know there's also a lot of hmong people in china (where we once called home!) and france! holla

You are saying it the "lazy" way and usually the people who don't know how to say it right pronounces it that way. The letter o isn't a "awh" sound. It's a "oe" sound like Joe. And yes, you do pronounce the Hm sound which is pronounced exactly like the way it is spelled. If you say Mong as in M-awh-ng, people are gonna say, "Huh? Mongolian?" which isn't right. It's Hmong, Hm-oe-ng. -------------------- |
