About Vietnamese
Vietnamese is an Austroasiatic language with a history stretching back thousands of years. It was heavily influenced by Chinese during a millennium of Chinese rule, and later by French during the colonial period. Approximately 85 million people speak Vietnamese, primarily in Vietnam.
Vietnamese is written using a Latin-based alphabet called Quoc Ngu, which was developed by Portuguese and French missionaries in the 17th century and officially adopted in the early 20th century. It is a tonal language with six distinct tones that change word meanings. An interesting fact is that Vietnamese previously used Chinese characters and a locally developed script called Chu Nom before switching to the Latin-based system, making it one of the few Asian languages written in Latin script.
