I do not know Hmong. But since you ask . . .
Hmong is a minor language of areas of southeast asia. It also uses Roman alphabet.
Here are some extracts from web site located at: http://www.hmongcenter.org/hmonglanguage2.html
The Hmong Language
. . . .
Neither White nor Green Hmong has ever had any official status in Laos, Thailand, or China. Thus, there are no grounds for preferring one of the dialects over the other. In spite of this, White Hmong has been favored in many ways. The Hmong writing system most commonly used, the Romanized Practical Alphabet, generally is closest to the White Hmong pronunciation. Most dictionaries of Hmong only present the White Hmong dialect. In Laos, the majority of the Hmong population with an education, probably spoke the White Hmong dialect. The English name "Hmong" as opposed to "Mong" represents the White Hmong pronounciation.
. . . .
The Hmong language is one of a group of closely related languages of Southeast Asia and Southern China often referred to as the Miao-Yao languages. Besides being spoken by Hmong people in Laos, Thailand, Burma, and Vietnam, the Hmong language is widely spoken by the Miao minority in Southern China. The Hmong language is also related to the Yao languages which include Iu Mien, spoken in Laos and Thailand as well as China, and five other languages spoken by minority groups in the larger region.
