Re: VMs: Anyone have some Hmong text?

[Bruce Grant <bgrant@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I think I read somewhere that Hmong is one of the languages used for 
primary school instruction in California - perhaps there are educational 
materials in the language available there.

Another possibility might be military publications from the Vietnam War 
era - perhaps you could find something with a Freedom of Information Act 
request.
