Hmong (RPA: Hmoob) or Mong (RPA: Moob) is the common name for a group of dialects of the West Hmongic (Chuanqiandian) branch of the Hmong-Mien/Miao-Yao language family spoken by the Hmong people of Sichuan, Yunnan, Guizhou, Guangxi, northern Vietnam, Thailand, and Laos.[2] The total number of speakers worldwide has been estimated to be more than 4 million, including over 200,000 Hmong Americans.[1] Some dialects are mutually intelligible while others are so distinct as to be considered separate languages

To you linguists what language family do you think each one belongs too. I dont think any of them belong to Sino-Tibetan, and I dont see how people think Korean and Japanese can be Austronesian while Vietnam is closer to Austronesian languages, and I also think Vietnam is more cculturally related to Austronesian than Korea or Japan, because I read that Korea is considered Austronesian because they think people came from eggs, like Austronesians, well the Vietnamese did too, so what language family do you think each one comes from
