Permalink My ATM Has Hmoob

Cool. I am so excited. Um, wait, what is Hmoob? This new icon on my ATM screen at the bank has left me puzzled for the last few weeks. I am guessing it is some new language selection since its near the Spanish button. Now, who speaks Hmoob?

Turns out some other guy noticed this and found the answer. Its really called Hmong and it is a tone language. Every syllable has an associated tone or pitch. So, get ready — the Hmoob people are coming and their first stop was the ATM — these are smart people. :)
