The Vietnamese Language
- Vietnamese is natively known as Tiếng Việt and belongs to the Austroasiatic, Vietic, Viet-Muong language family.
- There are approximately 85 million native speakers worldwide.
- Vietnamese is a tonal language with six tones in the northern dialect and five in the southern dialect, each indicated by a diacritical mark.
- The current Latin-based writing system (Ch\xe1\xbb\xaf Qu\xe1\xbb\x91c Ng\xe1\xbb\xaf) was developed by Portuguese missionaries in the 17th century and officially adopted in the early 20th century.
- Before the Latin alphabet, Vietnamese was written using Ch\xe1\xbb\xaf N\xc3\xb4m, a complex logographic system adapted from Chinese characters.
- Vietnamese is an isolating language with no inflection: words do not change form for tense, number, gender, or case, relying instead on word order and particles.
- Despite being an Austroasiatic language, Vietnamese has been heavily influenced by Chinese due to a thousand years of Chinese rule, with approximately 60-70% of its vocabulary being Sino-Vietnamese.
- The Vietnamese community is one of the largest and most established migrant communities in Australia, with over 270,000 Vietnamese-born residents. The majority arrived as refugees after 1975 and through subsequent family reunion and skilled migration. Concentrated in Sydney (Cabramatta, Bankstown, Marrickville), Melbourne (Footscray, Springvale, Richmond), and Brisbane (Inala, Darra), the community has Vietnamese-language media, schools, temples, and thriving business districts.
