The "h" is silent. The "mong" rhymes with "song". We had some at our church a few years ago. The family moved to Chico when their eldest daughter got a scholarship. She's a pharmacist now. At a guess, I would say it's simply "Mong". I hope this helps! The H is pronounced like the H in "ha ha ha", and Mong rhymes with long, song, bong, kong, tong, and wong. The accent in on the first syllable - the H. Ha" Mong. (The Hmong Dar people do not include the Mong Leng people - and Miao is an insult akin to barbarian.) |
