Alexander de Rhodes used Roman Alphabet to create a language first called "National language". Before it was created, Vietnamese used Mandarin, Cantonese,... During the communist government's time, chairman of the country Ho Chi Minh encouraged National language to be spoken as Vietnam's official language, and it remains the official language until now. It was called Vietnamese by foreigners.
