  • @niamtxiv Right. (Email works fine.) Nevermind then. Perhaps you are not the person to ask such questions. Laters.

  • @niamtxiv I did note you my email. It is: aliasdoe007 at google.

  • @aliasdoe007

    I'm sorry, but I emailed you and it did not work.

  • @niamtxiv See msg: "Delivery to the following recipient failed permanently: ijianeng at hotmail dot com"

    I understand if you do not want to email me nor receive an email. It's cool. Laters.

  • @aliasdoe007

    okay, note me your email.

  • @niamtxiv Note? Email me. It's only a question. I am just curious as to what your thoughts/perspective is. If you don't want to email me, it's understandable.

  • @aliasdoe007

    email me

    ijianeng at hotmail

  • @niamtxiv

    Email sent.

  • @niamtxiv I have a serious question I want to inquire you about? Either post your email or add me as a buddy so I can email you thru youtube . My email is this userid (aliasdoe007) at google dot com. Either way I'd like to ask you something important.

  • @aliasdoe007

    please note me.

  • @niamtxiv Already said, western, central, n eastern are purely geographic designation of known Miao-Hmong settlements in China. The designation by no means claims all western or eastern Miao-Hmong r intelligible within their own region. Prime example, green n white, we all agree r hmong yet 1 can intelligibly understand the other. Y do u think green learned/speak white n vice versa. The connection, again, was solely within their customs. All unique n Miao-Hmong identifiers worldwide.

  • @niamtxiv If the Miao-Yao(Hmong-Mien) language group as you claim is homogenous then Hmong can intelligibly understand Mien, Yao, etc. They cannot n vice versa. Mien n Yao r brethens yet they r unintelligible with each other like all Miao dialects in China. As stated, on language alone, the Miao-Hmong, argue they r unique. It's the customs that tied them altogether which they eventually realised, accepted - some questioning to a degree. Well documented/researched by scholars.

  • @niamtxiv Again, where do u get ur info? Hmu n Ahao n Ahmao r 1 n the same group. As for the class of language, Miao-Yao, now labeled Hmong-Mien, they r not homogenous period. Homogenous means having or sharing a single uniformity/trait/origin. It's soley to categorize all the 1000s of the languages, not to say if they belong to one group then they r intelligible. Not true. Only that they share common\borrowed words or sound similar when spoken.

  • @niamtxiv Language wise, most if not all research, say all miao groups r different even among white n green hmong who we all agree r hmong from se asia. To say all miao are hmong is stretching it on the basis of language alone simply because they r all unintelligible - ahmao, goxiong, hmong etc. Where a clear connection is made is the explicit customs n rituals - shaman, weddings, funerals - shared by all amidst slight/expected variance not in Han or other non-hmong miao.

  • @aliasdoe007

    actually that is not true. Out of all the major family linguistic groups in Asia -- Altaic, Sino-Tibetan, Tai-Kadai, Mon-Khmer, Miao-Yao......... the Miao languages are still very homogenous.

  • @niamtxiv Not sure where u get ur info but documented books by known researchers state Ahmao's language is unintelligible with hmong n other miao languages. Yes there are some shared/borrowed words but it is far far from 80%. I suspect u r looking at it geographically not by groups since as a whole western miao do speak closer hmong than eastern miao. Take Mim Haam's people, miao, who r western. They speak over 80% hmong but r not Ahmao. Then Ayouduo, eastern miao, less than 50% if not more.

  • @aliasdoe007

    The A-Hmao and Hmong are classified as Western Miao because both groups are share approximately very close relationship. The Hmu/Kanao are classed as the Central Miao. Their language share only 45 to 50% similarities. The Eastern Miao or Gho Xiong; however, share only 20 to 30% similarities... of course, all will be unintelligible to one another. "Unintelligible" means unable to understand one another clearly.. it doesn't mean "not fully understand one another."

  • @kashmonkey The ahmao also called hmu n ahao is not the same as hmong. Ahmao's language is completely unintelligible with hmong. It believed both ahmao n hmong share a common ancestry though along with other miao such as the go xiong, gu, etc. It's fairly complicated since all these groups are different in certain ways. Kind of sad in a ways because they all look like hmong but are so different too.

  • @aliasdoe007

    actually, the A-Hmao language is shared 80%. All Miao branches share a common ancestry.

  • @niamtxiv

    Yes, A-Hmao is semi-intelligible. More so than other dialects. I can understand most of what they say, when spoken. There are some videos of them "speaking". In song or fast speech, it's harder to understand, but if you listen closely during slow or normal speech, you can understand most.

  • is there anything that distinguishes the A-Hmao from the Hmong? Or are they just the same group?

  • Interesting.....and the song is so upbeat...lol
