This talk aims to describe some of negative constructions in Black Hmong language a variety of Hmong language spoken in Vietnam. The data will be based on narrations produced by native speakers. Some negative constructions in Black Hmong will be compared to constructions found in other Hmong languages, mainly in White Hmong spoken by Hmong speakers in Laos and the Hmong of the diaspora (USA). I will first present the negation of main clause declarative sentences (standard negation), then I will present negation in other kinds of sentences (non-standard negation). I will also present another particle of negation found in imperative constructions in White Hmong and Hmong Leng languages.
