The Hmong Romanized Popular Alphabet (HRPA) is a writing system used for the Hmong language, which is spoken by the Hmong people. Developed in the 1950s, it was designed to provide a standardized way to transcribe the language using the Latin alphabet. This system helps preserve Hmong culture and facilitates communication among speakers. HRPA includes unique letters and diacritics to represent specific sounds in the Hmong language. It is widely used in education, literature, and cultural activities, allowing Hmong speakers to read and write in their native language. The alphabet plays a crucial role in maintaining the identity of the Hmong community.
