Hmong Tone Made Easy — Ntawv Cim (8 Tones)

Type a Hmong word with no tone marker, add the cim, and hear all eight tones.

There are many words in the Hmong language that do not use all of the tone markers. When that is the case, the words may not be pronounced correctly.

Enter a Hmong word without cim, then press Add cim to word. The purple speaker reads the correction if you have set one.

The only time you will ever use the cim “d” is when you use it as location.

Example: nyob ntawm no (here) → use d in tod (over there, like tod, ntawd) — not in general words.
