The Hmong language has two dialects in America (I don't know about dialects in 
Asia), Hmoob Dawb (White Hmong) and Moob Leeg (Green Mong). The name could be 
Lojbanized as "xmon", but that might be disliked by the Moob Leeg, who don't 
have the "hm" sound. It could be "mon", but there's another language called 
Mon, in the Mon-Khmer family. So what is the Lojban word for Hmong?
