the Hmong are a people who live along the spine of mountains that separates Vietnam from Laos.
The language has words with HL
There are names with HL in them too, I just can't find the specific sources that I remember seeing lo, those many years ago.
I'm going to need a lot of help with this section.
I found this page by plugging the words "Hl words" into a google.com search and boy was I surprised that this came up.
It was just what I was looking for!
Now, exactly how these are pronounced -- I have no clue.
And how they can be strung together in a tonguetwister?
About that I'm even in more of a quandry.
So any help any one can give on this I'd appreciate it.
