I know that the Laotians refer to Hmong as "Meo", Prounounced like "Mail" with a high tone. Not "meow"...
That's a derogatory form....

I don't know what the fuss is about. I'm proud I have a history called MIAO. Call me MIAO... I'm proud to be one. That is the word that was given to the Hmong people before they found the word "HMONG". So just accept it. Call me whatever you want...
And if you think that I'm totally disrespecting, I'm not... I just accept things as I learn them. It's not shameful to take the word Miao. So why be ashamed of the word itself. That's my opinion so I don't want any attacks if you're thinking of one. |

QUOTE (bABiedoLL @ Jul 21 2005, 01:31 AM) I personally perfer being call Hmong. The word "Miao" is an unapporaite name which i feel that others used to insult the Hmong Culture. let them say what they... don't let others take your name away you know.. you know you're a sprouting seed.. not a cat... |

Yes there is lao in China. They are called Dai bc i was watching a thai movie and they went to kunming, there were some dai people speaking the language and it was 60% understandable. |
