Welcome to DevSketch Translations.
This is being developed to assist others to learn hmong and some other languages with few resources.
Enhanced search features, learning sections, grammar, and words for people in other countries to learn hmong are still on their way.
This is a large task, so I thank you for your patience.
In the meantime, words are still constantly being added that are provided from fluent Hmong speakers from CA, MN, and WI.
I hope this site helps you!
Thank you for visiting, and as my friends say, KAWM ON!
