Interesting you should mention the Hmong. I consider myself as
something of a cosmopolitan, and I had never heard of this group until
this year. Seems there is a family in our very small rural community
that can only speak Hmong and no English. I found that fascinating.

Could someone tell me what is Hmong?
Thanks,
Claude

An ancient Asian people. (that is, the currently living people are presumably ordinary ages, but the culture has a long history.) Some of the population has been/is in Laos and Vietnam, and a number of those came over to the USA in the 70's (and I believe more since then), at least in part as a result of having been displaced by the general mess in Southeast Asia at that time.

Typing "Hmong" into Google should get you lots of information; which of it is accurate I don't know enough about the subject to tell.
