Where in southeast Asia is this language found? Is it related to the language of the Hmong, or am I misled by a chance resemblance between the names? Michael Hardy 22:04, 19 May 2004 (UTC)

Hmong is a totally different term, no relation. The Mon language is a language of the Mon people, who now live occupy southern Burma and I think there are some populations in Thailand. They have no country, but did have ancient kingdoms in Thailand, I think it was the Dvaravati kingdom and a few others. --Dara 22:28, July 9, 2005 (UTC)
