Title: Hmong and the Wu people (Suav Vwj)
Post by: TheAfterLife on July 28, 2016, 05:34:26 PM

I don't know, but I do have a hunch. I have seen similarities of Wu language that is similar to ours. I can here iddi-bitty words that I can understand from them that has Hmong vocabs like "Ntawm." Is it true that Wu might be the first evolution of Hmong before the middle times of the Hmong in China?

Isn't Wu, Han ethnic? Han and Hmong share similar languages but that could have been through assimilation because Green Dialect is original unlike that of White dialect.

No. I doubt it. Green dialect and cultural customs are so stringent even til this day. They are more credible than White. So the chances of Wu being one is unlikely.
