Abstract:
Many of the Hmong people of Southeast Asia fled to the United States after the end of the
Vietnam War. Most of the Hmong populations in the United States today speak one of two closely
related dialects of the Hmong language, White and Green Hmong. Of the two, White Hmong has seen
significantly more representation in linguistic literature to date. I make use of the literature that does
exist regarding Green Hmong and several sources that discuss White Hmong to provide a general
description of the grammatical structure that underlies simple sentences in Green Hmong.
