Mien New Year Song

[chengxiong95]

R mien the same as Hmong but alil differ?? Cuz I think I heard sum familiar words from that song he sing.....

[CHAOTIMES]

@chengxiong95 The only similarity I know of is where Mien and Hmong are from. With the exception of borrowed words from other languages, the Mien and Hmong languages are completely different.

[chengxiong95]

@CHAOTIMES okie...thx 4 the info

[xaithoj]

@CHAOTIMES hmong and mien languages may no longer 'sound' the same, but they both came from the same root. that's why they are both classified into the 'hmong-mien' language family. this shared root indicates a shared culture once upon a time (probably Chu Kingdom 1030bc-223bc). genetically, hmong and mien are different, hmong are y-dna O3 people like chinese and mien are O2 people like thais and lao's.

[AzianGurl1996]

@Tevinseng Because when mien people sing they carry out there voices longer than just normal talking.

[Oracle150]

@Tevinseng: because when they sing, it tends to be the more poetic so they use the older dialects and grammar. This is the kind of grammar and vocabulary you hear in traditional chanting (cenv nzung/baux nzung). this dialect is more directly derived from Mandarin. Conversational and colloquial Mien is what we are used to hearing and most youth now can't understand the older forms.

ร้องเพราะดี mein thailand

[tracy757]

mien people is a great inspiration to the asian ethnic..

[olylifter69kg]

who were those ladies at 2:58 ? where they mien or lao women, i must know!!!

[gryxng]

mien people r sick in the head, and always talk shit about each other!! im married to a mien guy, and their family r nothing but a piece of shit..i hope not all mien people r like that!!! thats y the mien community never grows cuz how they r!

[CHAOTIMES]

@gryxng Sorry to hear. I would say to ignore the BS but since you're talking about your in-laws, you can't just ignore them. Just ignore the negativity from other Mien people outside your family.

On the bright side, not all Mien people are like how you described. If we can't grow as a community, grow yourself individually and set the example. Change starts within ourselves. Goodness prevails and others will follow suit.

[CALBerkeley]

@gryxng

You're ignorant and disgusting for making a statement like that. To say "Mien people r sick in the head", you're deeming 1 trait to an entire group based on your personal connection to one family. As a Mien American, I am more proud than ever of my culture, people and what we're continuing to accomplish despite the many obstacles we've faced as a small refugee community, displaced in America. You have no respect & it's a shame that you're so disrespectful towards your husband's fam.

@gryxng

hey if thats how u feel then maybe you should get yo sh// and isolate from them cause u know that theirs a phrase that they say if you don't like it then get the fu// away unless the di// is too good to which you can't stand to live without not even one day. so deal with it or take it cause not all mien people talk shi/ about others and if you ain't doing anything wrong then you shouldn't mind it .....okayyy too bad boo hoo for you....

[klumzee30]

@gryxng as long as you two love each other who cares what they say

[Kilo2150Golf]

@gryxng Not all Mien people are like that. Its probably because your in-laws have some problems that they need to deal with themselves but you can help out, if you don't want to that is okay as well. Let the time flow and kill the anger within them, it'll be over before you know it.

[R1chmi3n]

Shiguy69: your Mien is pretty good. Yie doqc Mienh sou fiev deix Mienh zaangc, mv hiuv caamv. Yie fiev mv dungc haix yaux meih hahaha (translated: I've read Mien and written Mien before, but I don't write as good as you hahaha)

I'd agree with ATKKim, I like the older folks better than the younger ones. I guess I must be old.
