Rating: 4
Summary: Informative and human
Comment: This account of the Hmong script created by Shong Lue Yang for his people is a strangely Christ-like tale which reads at times like an adventure novel, but you never forget it is true. Smalley, a Baptist minister, remains fashionably objective in his telling of the story. Useful for linguistics classes and anyone interested in the origin of writing systems.

Rating: 4
Summary: Good book about the original Pahauh Hmong writing
Comment: This was a really good book that talks a lot about Shong Lue Vue and his writing. It goes through the history, the problems, and the different stages that he went through to come up with the final one. It includes all the versions and how they are written. Overall a very good book...if you are interested.
