    I don't disagree that we are one people. When it comes to us Mong, Hmu, and Xong we are all connected under the name of Miao. As much as we dislike that name that's our connection to each other. My problem is when people start calling everyone Mong because they aren't. If you get down to it their are multiple ethnic groups under the name Miao. But there's this veil placed on us by the Chinese that tricked us into thinking just because they're Miao, they're Mong. History says that we once were one people but if you listen to this song and you're Mong, you cannot tell me you understand what they're singing. We should embrace the Hmu and Xong as fellow "Miao" people but not as Mong people. You say diversity is a beautiful thing but with this comment your inadvertently homogenizing us. Because the Hmu and Xong don't even claim to be Mong but people keep pushing them into erasing any diversity we have. Ca kuv xauv le nuav; I agree that we shouldn't let our differences separate us, but I don't like it when we start erasing and blurring the lines between not only their culture but ours; Because when you do that there's an underlying thought of superiority within it either consciously or subconsciously. But you're entitled to your opinion as well as I.

    I saw a brief story of Hmong history and when I realized they are a people during the B.C. times, that's when I realized, that could be the reason they are a people without a country. Their time has come and gone. Even many of these modern day countries that exist today, were formed in the A.D. time frame, It's reasonable that in between, many nations rise and fall, many cultures appear and disappear, and many peoples merge into others or try to remain distinct but don't have their chance to make a come-back.

They must have struggled to not show footage of KTVs, tourist shops and legions of tourists in this video. Most people there wear traditional costumes for the tourists only, although some old grandmas are still wearing it as part of their daily life. Watching the video I so want to go back there, but reminding myself the reality I think I had enough of once. That video is beautifully made though. The perfect dream.

I know watching these videos I'm noticing miao representing Hmong but then I noticed there were so many of them in different parts of China and they all have different dialects and some of them still sound Hmong, and for the rest of the others completely Chinese to me I guess because they live next door to others influencing the change in their sub culture, and language.

She and I can understand each other a little bit here and there then we won’t understand but then we understand a little again. We have common words that are mutually intelligible (with different sounds and pitches, of course) on words like qeej, kuv, koj, nco, pw, some numbers, colors, etc. However, we have different words for many other stuff more than not, such as phooj ywg (my dialect loaning from Chinese) and her word for friend is (forgive my spelling cus she and I don’t know Guizhou script) pronounced something like lee ying, if my memory serves.

    @@difencrosby Yes & No. Depends on who u ask. Same language branch, not always the same language or more specific dialect. Miao is a broad term. Most Hmong outside China would argue they are not Miao, but any Hmong person outside China who were to go back to China to visit would likely b classified as Miao. Miao itself has many sub groups & dialects. Some of those sub dialects can be as different as Italian is to Spanish is to French and a very few as similar as American English is to England's English. Also within the subgroup, they call themselves something different and not all would call themselves Hmong, although a few would call themselves something close to it and a few something completely different. That's why when they hold Miao big events in China they have to use Mandrin the national language as the groups can't even communicate with each other with just their own group dialects alone. Although there are a lot of cultural similarities between the groups.

    Your wrong! Our current youth can't even speak proper Hmong Der. Besides, every country we moved to, we picked up a different accent and have even changed the tones a bit. This also includes picking up different styles of dress and food. Miao was the old name before we changed the name during the secret war of Laos. We were called Meo in Vietnam by the Vietnamese because they could not say Miao correctly, but on the same note used Meo as an insult. Some Lao and Thai also use Meo and Miao as an insult, but its rare now a days since we are mainly known in Southeast Asia as Hmong. China is the only location where we are still called Miao, but if you ask your elders (70-90es years of age), the name Miao was not unheard of nor uncommon. Do some actual research before making statements. Miao is a vast group of people with different languages and beliefs.

    Miao and Hmong are one in the same, we just have slightly different accents and dialects. If spoken slow enough we can understand 95% of eachother. Now a lot of Hmong-Chinese people speak a lot of Mandarin. It's just that the Hmong people who remained in China were influenced by Chinese culture and the Hmong people who fled China into Laos picked up some of their culture. If you look up their folklore songs, dances, instruments, clothing; It's all very similar but you have to keep in mind that Hmong who fled to Laos were poor so they did what they could to resemble the traditional clothings etc.. Dont forget that Miao people have different clans. The common dialect in USA and Laos is the white and green dialects. Even the Hmongs who speaks the white dialect cant fully understand Hmongs who speaks true green dialect.

    These "real" Hmong that you mention are the ones that came out of China into other countries like Laos, Thailand, and Vietnam. And even in the 1970s and 1908s, some of those Lao Hmong people added to the populations in Thailand and Vietnam. So in that case, they're not real either then. I think it's not possible to trace which Hmong groups came from where and where they went, and which Hmong groups added to them over the centuries. For me, I think the Miao are the ancestral group. Other Hmong groups came from them. This includes the ones who ended up in Laos, Vietnam, Thailand, and other SE Asian countries where we customarily think of when we think of Hmong people. As for the ones who left SE Asia, that can be directly linked to the consequences of the Vietnam War, and so most of those came from Laos.
