Miao-Yao (Hmong-Mien) Language Classification including Bunu and She speakers.

The Miao language is broken into three groups: Xiangxi (eastern), Qiandongnan (central) and Chuanqiandian (western).

Both White(Chuanqian) and Green Hmong(Diandongbei) are part of Chuanqiandian.

The Yao language is broken into multiple groups, often including Kim Mun speakers.

Bunu and She speakers fall between both Miao-Yao speakers.

Ayouduo speaks the "Qiandong" or "Qiandongnan" dialect. Long Xian-Er speaks the "Xiangxi" dialect.
Overseas Hmong (Miao) speak primarily the "Chuanqiandian" dialect.

  • Would be nicer if there is vocal, too hard for non-hmong speakers to decipher the pronunciation of these words.

  • @hewarm thats because the vietnamese ARE related to cambodians, Vietic is under the Mon-Khmer branch, they also have haplogroup o2a is their core

  • @hewarm

    Hey dumbass, this video is Hmong-Mien. Take your craps somewhere else. =) I love my Mien brothers and sisters. Yi? Qiang? they are related to Tibetans. And?

  • @hewarm

    dumbass bitch, this is my video. Do you fucking know how to read?

  • oh and if you don't care why are you responding?

  • @hewarm

    You stupid dumbass. There lots of Yi where Hmong people live in Sichuan and Yunnan. Okay, you are irrelevant. There are Tibetans living in Yunnan. And? What are you trying to prove to me? Literally, I don't care about what you have to say.

  • Tibetan and Miao made almost no contact in history so no mixing there. Han? Yeah but Han mixed with a whole bunch of different people. Yi? Well according to their oral history, since you like oral history so much, they forbid mixing with others. While it certainly did happen to an extent, their DNA is generally very similar to each other. All seven million of them. And their DNA are very different to the Miao and are similar to Qiang and Tibetan so any mixing they did was not significant enough

  • @hewarm

    Have I ever said Miao/Hmong are related to Han Chinese or Tibetan? lol certainly not. Mixing and marriages, certainly yes. Neighbor? certainly yes. Mien people are our closet relatives. Now, why all of a sudden, your butt is hurting? lol

  • @niamtxiv

    BTW didn't you try to tell people that Vietnamese people are related to Cambodians because of same language family? Whats so different between this and that?

  • @niamtxiv

    I most certainly do understand and I know you're just going to say something stupid like "related languages doesn't mean that we are related." It most certainly does. Does it make you feel better to tell you that your Miao ass is related to Han Chinese or Tibetan or Yi? What's wrong with Mien people, why do you look down on them and why do you hate yourself?
