The Pahawh Hmong (𖬖𖬲𖬝𖬵 𖬄𖬲𖬟 𖬌𖬣𖬵 Phajhauj Hmoob) is a phonological writing system for the Hmong language, created by an uneducated and illiterate Hmong man, Shong Lue Yang (𖬌𖬤𖬵 𖬘𖬲𖬞 𖬖𖬲𖬤 Soob Lwj Yaj), in 1959, to write the Hmong language. The script was developed through four stages, with the third stage being promoted as the stardard. The script can write both the Green Hmong (Moob Leeg) and White Hmong (Hmoob Dawb) dialect.
