Hmong

The Hmong, also known as Miao (Chinese: 苗: Miáo; Vietnamese: Mèo or H'Mông; Thai: แม้ว (Maew) or ม้ง (Mong), are an Asian ethnic group speaking the Hmong language, whose homeland is in the mountainous regions of southern China (especially Guizhou) that cross into northern Southeast Asia (northern Vietnam and Laos). The term "Miao" is offensive to some Hmong people. Today, they form the fifth largest of the 56 ethnic groups officially recognized by the People's Republic of China.
