Like some Hmong (7)
I believe the answer is:
laotian
'like some hmong' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for laotian that I've seen before include "Citizen of Vientiane, for example" , "Thai neighbour" , "language out East" , "Person from southeast Asian country" , "Oriental" .)
