Names: Pahawh Hmong, Miao.
Pahawh Hmong is an unusual script for several reasons. Typologically it is something of an oddity, being abugida-like, but with vowels as the primary symbols, rather than the consonants. Historically, it has been associated with a messianic movement among the Hmong people.
