Thanks Saki.

I can speak both Moob Leeb and Moob Dlawb, but I prefer Moob Leeb b/c that's what I grew up speaking. I think it's harder for Moob Dlawb to learn Moob Leeb, b/c a lot of the literature and music out there are in Moob Dlawb.

I tell you a funny story, Bear when me cause I can't spell in Hmong. And ways I went hunting with a bunch of friends, 3 were hmoob Leeb and the others were Hmoob Dlawb.Me and my 1 hmoob Leeb and 1 Dlawb buddy.  Well it was a long day of seeing nothing. And we came up to this rock that over see the view. We were smoking and the Hmoob Dlawb saw something and he said "Squirrel" in white lingo. That was the 1st I heard a Dlawb said that. Now I didn't hear him clearly cause i was a bit far and was still enjoying my cigg. I thought he said "FOX" in white lingo. I was about to shit in my pants. LOL Then I look and it was a Squirrel. LOL
Sorry if it it's a bit confusing.

I found the below short reading in Hmong Dlawb, so I wanted to read and translate it to Moob Leej as it has to do w/learning how to read. Hopefully, my Moob will improve exponentially as time passes on.

Tus Tub Tsis Keej Tawv hab Nws Dlaim Av
Told by Blong Moua
Illustrations by Bao Lee
Transcribed by Mai Choua Moua      
Translated by Mai Pa Thor

Puag thaum ub nyob rau teb chaws nplog, muaj ib tug me nyuam tub tsis muaj ib txuj kev kawm. Nws xaav paub nyeem ntawv heev le tab sis nws nyeem tsis tau, vim rau qhov nws tsis muaj txuj kev kawm.

Lub tsev nyob npuab ib sav ntawm tus me nyuam tub nyob ib tug yawg laus laus coj ib dlaim av. Txhua txhua hnub, tus yawg laus hawd tawm tuaj zaum ntawm nws lub qhov rooj nyeem ntawv. Poom le no taag, tus me nyuam tub haj ntseeg has tas tej zam yog dlaim av hawd ua rau tus yawg laus nyeem tau ntawv.

Vim rau qhov tus me nyuam tub xaav nyeem ntawv heev le, tab sis nws tsis paub tas yuav ua le cas, nws haj le moog pem khw moog yuav ib dlaim av. Nws ncig tag txhua lub khw, sawv ntxoov txug tsaus ntuj. Nws sim txhua dlaim av uas nws poom, tab sis nws yeej tseem nyeem tsis tau le hab.

Tus me nyuam tub tau chim hab npau taws heev le nws haj le cem tus tswv khw has tas, “Koj cov av twb tsis zoo le! Kuv tseem nyeem tsis tau ntawv!”

Tus tswv khw teb has tas, “Tsuas yog has tas koj coj dlaim av su, txhais tsis tau has tas koj yuav nyeem tau ntawv.”

“Kuv xav has tas yog kuv coj ib dlaim av ces ntshe yuav ua rau kuv paub nyeem ntawv no,” tus me nyuam tub teb tus tswv khw.

Thaum kawg, tus me nyuam tub mam nkag sab has tas dlaim av xwb yuav ua tsis tau rau nws txawj nyeem ntawv. Qhov yuav ua rau nws txawj nyeem ntawv ces yog nws yuav tsum tau moog kawm ntawv ua ntej. Txuj kev kawm tseem ceeb heev le, tab sis nws tsis yog ib yam khoom uas koj nyob ces txawm yuav paub, koj yuav tsum moog kawm ntawv haj le paub.

I never did like the green hmong dialect.

Quit playing with your words and just speak them the white way!


The one green hmong word I hate the most is mes...

Mes!  Mes!  Mes!

Nooooo. I think the Hmong Leeg dialect is as beautiful as any other Hmong/Miao dialects.

It would be odd to speak Hmong Dlawb as majority of my family only speak Hmong Leeg.
