most of the hmong youth out there, and even elders, can't even read and write the english written hmong language, hell some youth can't even speak it fluently, but this is cool, always something new to learn about my culture, would like more solid facts, but as for now keep up the good work.

I questioned this last night, but I take it back. I had an epiphany on the toilet just 15 mins ago. Seriously, no joking. Why did the elders say to us younger folks go "rau siab kawm ntawv kawm dawb (losyog kawm ntawv dawb)". In English, this means "be persistent and go to school". Literally, it means "be persistent learn cloth and letters". My realization on the toilet is that indeed... our language hides the secret that has evaded researchers: our language truly is in our cloth!!!!

@QiLuHmongHeritage Interesting, I didn't know about the Fuxi alphabet until now. Hmong elders say we preserved this language since the great flood. I noticed the Fuxi have a similar claim. Thanks for sharing, definitely worth looking into.

Same reason why some people know that the word Hmoob derives from the word hmoov/moov. Not everyone knows, but those who do learned it from others and so on.
