미국은 월맹(북베트남)이 베트남 밖에 있는 라오스에 길(호지민 트레일)을
만들어서 남베트남(월남)에서 싸우고 있는 베트콩에게 보급하는 것 때문에 골머리를
앓고 있었다. 호지민 트레일 보급을 막기 위해서 미국은 Hmong 을 모집하여 베트콩과
싸우게 했다. 월맹이 전쟁에서 이긴 후에 이들을 그냥 둘리가 없었다. 적과 내통한
반역자 이기 때문이었다. 그들은 살기위해서 세계 각국으로 피난 했다.

Hmong을 어떻게 발음하는가? "흐몽"인가? Webster Dictionary에 의하면 ˈməŋ'으로 되었으니, "멍"이라고 불러야겠고, 또 복수인 경우에 Hmongs 라고 쓰지 말고, 단수나 복수 모두 Hmong라고 표현한다.
그들은 중국대륙 남방에서 살던 민족이었고, 한때에는 중원에서 패권을 다루었다가 남방으로 쫒겨갔고, 중국왕조의 지배가 싫어서 월남이나 라오스 북부에 정착하였다.
한문으로는 赫蒙族으로 쓰니, 우리 한국식 발음으로는 혁몽족이라 하겠지만 본인외에는 그렇게 발음하는 사람은 없겠다.
미군과 동맹하여서 월맹과 싸운댓가로 미국에서 받아 준건 좋은 일이다.
하지만 미국의 동맹으로 Terrorist와 힘껏 싸웠던 Kurds를 하루 아침에 배반했던 Donald Trump the bastard는 의리라고는 없는 인간이하의 종자가 아닌가?
이 SOB가 빤빤스럽게 지꺼리기를, "Where were Kurds in the Normandy?"
나는 말한다. "Trump야, 너는 Normandy 어디에 있었지?"

Doc, we don't have to go by the Webster Dictionary. It's just a dictionary.
We should go by our common-sense way, that is, Hmong (singular) and Hmongs (plural).
If the old Korean name was "赫蒙", it means there must have been "h" pronunciation in Asia.
So, we should pronounce it as "H-Mong" with a full "h" sound at the beginning.
We shall not pronounce an Asian name by Spanish or French pronunciation.
Deny the damn white supremacy and forget the European BS.

Good point, doc, but it is the reality! You can't deny it! The winner writes the history including the names as the way they can call/pronounce easily we all know that. Indeed, all the names of the city, country and even the person throughout the world were all written in British way for their convenience through centuries and now some were restored back to their original name like Madras to Chennai, Bombay to Mumbai, and Rangoon to Yangon. So the spelling of Hmong also might be one of them, who knows!

Sunisa Lee certainly looks like Korean, I was quite impressed, though she belongs to Hmong!
Amazing such similarities! So Hmong people settled in Minnesota here in the U.S. after Vietnam War!
Why Minnesota? Any special reasons? Quite interesting!
Anyhow, a good many descriptions of the name we are familiar with are based on the spelling in English alphabets as written in the dictionary and also much influenced by British so that the description as Hmong might be one of them. Who knows?

Doc, after the Vietnam war, the U.S. was overrun by the refugees from Vietnam.
They were brought to the major port in the U.S. and then sent to different places in the U.S.,
for example, 2000 people to the state of Maine, 3000 to Minnesota, 4000 to California, and etc.
That's why these people ended up in various places in the U.S.
It was not by their own choices.
These people started a new life there and spread out later as they wished.
As you may know, they were mostly highly successful (just like the Koreans).
They slowly replaced Korean streets and shops when Koreans moved to a better part of the town.
Now, they are trying to overrun Koreans, believe it or not.

How about that! That was the reason why Hmong people settled in Minnesota as a group!
Wonder how they were able to sustain/tolerate such harsh cold weather up there in Minnesota! Because, Hmong people lived in warm Southeastern Asia all along and were never exposed at such cold weather like Vietnamese. Besides, Minnesota area has such unique population mostly of descendants from Scandinavia so that it wouldn't be easy for them to get assimilated as a late-comer.
Indeed, Minnesota region has such unique population structure that in early '70, we chose Minnesota as the first place we extended the boundary/definition of 'immediate' family member to the cousins, aunt and uncle as well and applied same risk as a living 'related' kidney donor before the tissue typing confirmed our speculation.

Hmong Americans (RPA: Hmoob Mes Kas, Pahawh Hmong:) are Americans of Hmong ancestry. Most Hmong Americans are those that immigrated to the United States as refugees in the late 1970s, and their descendants. Some refugees fled Laos due to their cooperation (or perceived cooperation) with the United States' Central Intelligence Agency operatives in northern Laos during the Vietnam War.[3] Over half of the Laotian Hmong population left the country, or attempted to leave, in 1975, at the culmination of the war. About 90% of those who made it to refugee camps in Thailand were ultimately resettled in the United States. The rest, about 8 to 10%, resettled in countries including Canada, France, the Netherlands, and Australia. According to the 2010 US Census, the population count for Hmong Americans was 260,000.[4] Hmong Americans face disparities in healthcare, and socioeconomic challenges that lead to lower health literacy and median life expectancy, and per capita income.
