Hmong is a Hmong-Mien language spoken by about 2.6 million people in China, Vietnam, Laos, Thailand, USA, and French Guiana. There are two major varieties of Hmong: Hmong Dau or White Hmong (Hmongb Dleub) and Hmong Njau or Blue Hmong (Hmongb Nzhuab), which are named after the traditional colours worn by women of the different groups. In China Hmong is known as Miao and is written with Chinese characters or with an alphabet known as Pollard Miao. In Thailand, it is written with the Thai alphabet. In Vietnam Hmong is sometimes written with the Pahawh Hmong alphabet. During the 1980s and 1990s several other alphabets were invented to write Hmong: Nyiakeng Puachue Hmong, based on Thai letters and Chinese characters, and Ai Ao Lo. Today most Hmong write their language with the Romanized Popular Alphabet (Ntawv Thoob Teb), a version of the Latin alphabet developed mainly by American missionary linguists in the 1950s in Laos)
