vietnam has a very rich culture and history. it is found in the language itself. it compasses many cultures and has lasted for a couple millennia. spoken, it has 6 tones + 1 of 3 dialects equating to 7 tokens. it is a sophisticated language and harder to speak than mandarin, khmer, cantonese, korean, and japanese. yet when written, it's simpler than all these asian countries.
There are the mountain co tu that are nomadic of sorts,,,the co tu and the ka tu(in laos) have traditional sects that live the old ways,,,an interesting people, a magnificent ancient people. They are the smallest ethnic population of SE Asia. I had co tu scouts in QuangNam Provence Vietnam An Hoa fire base. If you ask them they reply truthfully or not at all. Man,,,! I miss them. My friends the co tu and the ka tu peoples I knew as friends in the middle of a war ❣
I can't NEVER understand why our forefathers took the Chinese characters and turned their writing into what we called Han Nom two times difficult. On the hand, Korean and Japanese they successfully converted the Chinese characters into their writing today a lot better than Han Nom.

I believe you were on Hill 724. There was a Light anti-Aircraft missile detachmt. serviced by Marines. Gorillas would Throw rocks as we drove up. Shrines were carved into the mountains. A beautiful view in the midst of chaos during my time there.
Han Nom is Han Chinese thousand years coqueror An Nam- Viet Nam language. An Nam-Viet Nam Scholars create An Nam-VietNam nom " Nam DDe' son ha` Nam DDe' cu'". Any person wants to learn Han Nom mean they want to learn Chinese language, that is not An Nam-Viet Nam nom, like noon is nguyet, sun is nhat, v^an is cloud, nha^n is people, nha^t'=one, nhi.=two, tam=three, tu'=four. Most An Nam began writting in poem, and develop use Latin script to become Vietnamese formal language.
