Shong Lue claimed to have been descended of God and given the mission of delivering the first true Hmong alphabet. Many believed him to be the Hmong people's long-awaited messiah, and his thousands of followers knew him as "Mother (Source) of Writing". This work provides a nontechnical linguistic analysis of the script and a survey of its current use. In addition, it gives an intriguing cultural account of Shong Lue's life.
