Hmong And Mong RPA To Diacritics Converter

Due to recent advancements in Artificial Intelligence (AI) and the availability of rich Unicode codepoints, we can now take advantage of these technologies to explore simplified writing systems for improved compactness and readability.

This experimental tool demonstrates one approach to writing Hmong and Mong using diacritic marks, building upon these technological opportunities.

This tool follows these conversion patterns:

  • Aspirated h- clusters → consonant with ring above
  • Prenasal n- clusters → consonant with tilde above
  • np → b, npl → bl, nplh → blh
  • nts → j, ntsh → jh

This is presented as a typing aid and exploration tool, not as a standard. Different communities may use different writing conventions, and all approaches are equally valid. Use what feels most comfortable for you!

Note: This tool leverages modern AI capabilities and Unicode support to demonstrate potential writing efficiencies while maintaining linguistic accuracy.
