Hmong in the United States

Who speaks Hmong, and where they turn up.

Hmong is a Hmong-Mien language group spoken by Hmong communities originally from the highlands of Laos, Vietnam, Thailand and China. U.S. Hmong refers primarily to descendants of Laotian Hmong who arrived after the Vietnam War.

Minneapolis / St. Paul, Fresno / Central Valley CA, Sacramento, Milwaukee, Eau Claire / Wausau WI, Detroit and Madison host the largest U.S. Hmong communities.

Linguistic considerations

Getting Hmong right.

Small choices — dialect, script, register — change whether a Hmong document is accepted on filing. Here is what we watch for.

Dialect & variety

White Hmong (Hmong Daw) and Green Hmong (Mong Leng) differ. Most U.S. Hmong speakers use White Hmong; we confirm with the client.

Script & typography

The Romanised Popular Alphabet (RPA) is the standard written system in the U.S. Pahawh Hmong, an indigenous script, is rarely used in professional settings.
