• The various dialects of Hmong share varying degrees of mutual intelligibility, some are mutually intelligible to a satisfactory level while there are others which are so much different from one another that they might as well be considered as two different languages. 
  

• The two major Hmong dialects are White Hmong and Green Mong. They are spoken by Hmong Americans. Although both the dialects are mutually intelligible, they differ in certain aspects of lexicon and phonology.
  

• Hmong is described as a tone language and uses seven distinct tones. They are High, Mid, Low, High falling, Mid rising, Low falling and Mid low.
  

• The most popularly used script for writing Hmong is the Romanized Popular Alphabet. It is used for writing White Hmong, as well as Green Mong in the West. The Romanized Popular Alphabet, was developed between 1951 and 1953 by three western missionaries in Laos.

• There have been a number of other Hmong scripts as well including scripts based on the Vietnamese alphabet and Roman letters based on Chinese pinyin. A Hmong spiritual leader by the name of Shong Lue Yang also developed a unique script for Hmong and called it Pahawh. He believed that this script was revealed by God.
  

• Hmong is defined as an analytic language which follows the Subject-Verb-Object word sequence. It has three grammatical gender and numbers including singular, dual, and plural. It is also isolating with most morphemes being monosyllables.
