Libraries Are For Everyone: Hmong

ByHafuboti

These signs have been the toughest so far on this campaign. I had two wonderful people (who don’t know each other) giving me various translations and explaining the meaning behind each one. The linguistic nerd in me was thrilled, but the art designer was like “I’M GOING TO MESS THIS UP!!!” ::panic::panic::panic::

I finally decided that I’d do two versions of these signs in Hmong. Please let me know if I completely destroyed this cool language, and I’ll fix it. Just know that I tried my best.
