What is Vietnams main language?

Answer 1

Vietnamese (tiếng Việt, or less commonly Việt ngữ) is the national and official language of Vietnam.

In its early history, Vietnamese writing used Chinese characters. In the 13th century, the Vietnamese developed their own set of characters called Chữ nôm. The celebrated epic Đoạn trường tân thanh (Truyện Kiều or The Tale of Kieu) by Nguyễn Du was written in Chữ nôm. During the French colonial period,Quốc ngữ, the romanized Vietnamese alphabet used for spoken Vietnamese, which was developed in 17th century by Jesuit Alexandre De Rhodes and several other Catholic missionaries, became popular and brought literacy to the masses.

Various other languages are spoken by several minority groups in Vietnam. The most common of these are Tày, Mường, Khmer, Chinese, Nùng, and H'Mông. The French language, a legacy of colonial rule, is still spoken by some older Vietnamese as a second language, but is losing its popularity. Vietnam nevertheless remains a full member of La Francophonie.

Russian - and to a much lesser extent German, Czech, or Polish - is sometimes known among those whose families had ties with the Soviet bloc. In recent years, English is becoming more popular as a second language. English study is obligatory in most schools. Chinese and Japanese have also become more popular.

Answer 2

Indochina is a region and not a country.

The former French Indochina included Cambodia, Laos and Vietnam. Culturally, the Indochina region also includes the Malay peninsula, Myanmar, Singapore and Thailand.

Taking all these countries into consideration, the languages of Indochina include:
- Mandarin Chinese
- Thai
- Vietnamese
- Khmer
- English
- Burmese

Answer 3

Indochina was a French colony, so the official language of administration was French. The native peoples of Indochina had a wide variety of languages. The Vietnamese, who were the largest Indochinese population, spoke Vietnamese, which is an Austroasiatic language. Khmer, the dominant language of Cambodia is also Austroasiatic. Lao, which is dominant in Laos is a Tai-Kadai Language. There were also ethnic minorities who spoke Sino-Tibetan Languages, Austronesian Languages, and Hmong-Mien Languages.

Answer 4

The vast majority of Vietnamese people do not speak English. However, the younger population from children to youths in their 20s are either taking English in their curriculum or are getting a heavy dose of English through media such as the Disney channel on TV and Hollywood movies. However, this zest to learn English is mainly centered in the cities where parents can better afford schools that teach English and extracurricular English tutoring. American entertainment is making English a popular language to learn - not to mention parents view English as a vehicle to improve their child's ability to get a better education by studying abroad and acquiring a high-paying job.

Older generations don't usually speak English unless they are involved in the tourism industry (tour services, restaurants, hotels) and/or live in heavily populated expatriate communities or backpacker areas.

Moreover, there are quite a few middle aged Vietnamese people who speak Russian or Czech for example from the era in which it was popular for Vietnamese to study and work abroad in the Soviet Bloc.

The elder generation of which there are few left, still speak or know some French.

The three deaf-community sign languages indigenous to Vietnam are found in Ho Chi Minh City, Hanoi, and Haiphong.

The HCMC and Hanoi languages have been influenced by the French Sign Language once taught in schools, and have absorbed a large amount of FSL vocabulary.

The Vietnamese sign languages are part of a sign language area that includes indigenous sign languages of Laos and Thailand, though it is not known if they are related to each other. The influence of French Sign may have obscured the links: the highest cognacy is with Haiphong Sign, which has been the least influenced by French Sign.

There are attempts to develop a national standard language, called Vietnamese Sign Language, but the progress is slow.
