**List: Miao Ministry the Bible ( the Bible ) Miao: Chuan... "The Miao, an independent people who number as many as 2.5 million, live in Kweichow and adjacent areas of Hunan, Kwangsi, Szechwan, and Yunnan provinces of China.   Known as ‘Meo’ in Thailand, Laos, and Vietnam, the Miao are divided into a number of groups, generally based upon characteristic habits of dress: He (Black) Miao, Hwa (Flowered or Variegated) Miao, Chuan, or Pe (White), Miao, Ching (Blue) Miao, and Hung (Red) Miao are the most common distinctions. These Miao groups speak languages that are related, but generally not mutually intelligible.   There are numerous dialects.   Although Miao and Meo are related to Yao, the precise linguistic affiliations of these tongues have not been fully determined.   They are generally considered a part of the Sino-Tibetan group.   Since the Miao had no writing of their own, their monsyllabic languages have been written either in the syllabic script devised by Samuel Pollard in 1904, or in the Chu Yin phonetic system."--1000 Tongues, 1972   [Info only] "The White Miao are found in southern Szechwan Province’ China, where they are known as ‘Chuan Miao’, and southward into southern Kweichow, where they are called ‘Pe’ or ‘Pei Miao’.   The Pei Miao live in proximity and contact with the Hung Miao, of the eastern Kweichow border areas, and the Ching Miao of central Kweichow."--1000 Tongues, 1972   [Info only] MIAO: Chuan dialect--1000 Tongues, 1939   [Info only: Pollard script   n.d.
