Vietnamese and Vietnamese Translation
This is the national and official language of Vietnam, and the mother tongue of the Vietnamese people. This group constitutes 86% of Vietnam's population, as well as approximately three million overseas Vietnamese, the majority of whom live in the United States. There are about 80 million total speakers of Vietnamese worldwide.
Vietnamese is a member of the Viet-Muong grouping of the Mon-Khmer branch of the Austroasiatic language family. Much of the Vietnamese vocabulary has been borrowed from Chinese, and this language originally utilized the Chinese writing system. For a prolonged period of time, Chinese was the primarily medium of literature and government, as well as the primary written language of the ruling class. This changed during French colonialisation, when French replaced Chinese as the official language of government.
There are various mutually intelligible spoken dialects of Vietnamese, with the main three being: Northern Vietnamese (including the Hanoi dialect), Central Vietnamese, and Southern Vietnamese (including the Saigon dialect). These dialects differ slightly in tone, pronunciation, and sometimes vocabulary. The Huế dialect is more markedly different from the others due to its local vocabulary. As with other Southeast Asian languages, Vietnamese has a comparatively large number of vowels, each of which is pronounced with an inherent tone. Vietnamese is an analytic language (like Chinese), and its grammar relies heavily on word order and sentence structure rather than morphology (in which word changes through inflection).
The Vietnamese writing system in use today is a modified form of the Latin script, with additional diacritics for tones and certain letters.
