Linguistic LingField(s):	Phonetics

Query:	Hello, Linguists! My query has two parts: 1) Are the consonants represented in the Hmong (Romanized) orthography by HM and HN voiceless nasals? I thought those were really rare. I would appreciate any phonetic information anyone might have. 2) More generally, I am interested in finding linguistic descriptions of Hmong, and information on any sociolinguistic work that might have been done on this language. Please reply to me directly (burt@vaxa.cis.uwosh.edu) and I will be glad to post a summary to the list. Many thanks, Susan ''Dancing is essential to a well-ordered society.''
