Vietnamese Literature

Vietnamese language and scripts

More than 80% of the population speaks Vietnamese or Kinh/Viet Nam, the natinal language. Many ethnic minority people speak Kinh and their own native language.

Three scripts have influenced Viet Nam’s history:

  • Chinese Han ideograms were used until the beginning of the 20th century.
  • The Nom script, created between the 11th and 14th centuries, was derived from Han script to transcrible the popupar national language.
  • European missionaries in the 17th century first developed quoc ngu, the Romanised transcription of the Vietnamese language used to this day.
