The primary dialect spoken by most #Hmong in the United States is either Hmoob Dawb ("White #Hmong")

Most of the problems faced by #Hmong Americans, appear to result from an inadequate command of the #English language.

The ways in which #Hmong American parents try to keep track of their children reflects their situation as new immigrants. They do not want the enculturation of their children taken completely out of their hands.

There have been a few instances of young #Hmong American men kidnapping and sexually assaulting young females. While they may have considered this a culturally acceptable way to enter into marriage, American law defines this kind of activity as illicit abduction and rape

This emerging industry confirms #Hmong cultural value, while demonstrating the economic importance of women to their families and communities.

Many of the individuals recruited by the U.S. government were #Hmong led by Vang Pao, an anti-Communist #Hmong military leader who had earlier assisted the #French

Many Americans are also perplexed by the rituals of the #Hmong and by the music that often accompanies them. Nonetheless, #Hmong Americans tend to be friendly to members of other groups and welcome attempts on the part of outsiders to learn more about their culture.

The New Year Festival ( noj peb caug ) is the most important #Hmong American holiday.

Many Americans find it difficult to distinguish #Hmong from the #Vietnamese or other Asian groups. Insofar as stereotypes have arisen, the #Hmong are often seen as hard-working, but also extremely foreign.

Many #Hmong customs are not practiced in the United States, especially by those who have converted to Christianity.
