Meo: Striped...
"The Meo are known as ‘Miao’ in China, whence they migrated
more than a century ago.   The more than 150,000 Meo are now
found in generally upland regions of Laos, Vietnam, and
northern Thailand.   Some Meo groups have been given names
based on the color of the women's garments: White, Striped,
Black, Red, and Flowered.   Their language is grouped with the
related Miao and Yao tongues.

Regional dialectal differences in Meo are common.   Depending
upon the region, Lao, Haw (Yunnanese), and Shan are used as
local linguae francae.   The Striped Meo hillsmen refer to them-
selves as ‘Hmong Njwa’."
