Hmong - way high up on the list of "cultures that need to buy a vowel".

If, as someone above posted, they don't have a written language, then how do we know how to spell it, and why should we feel constrained by yet another different culture's spelling of 'Hmong'?

There is a lot to be said for Anglicizing, and not all of it bad.
