This Vietnamese girl shares the correct pronounciation for over 100 Vietnamese words. Nearly all of them (around 90%) clearly come from Chinese. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F60YSypuwrs
Isn’t there an ethnicity in southern China which is basically Vietnamese? I believe they are quite closely related.
Vietnamese are not Chinese but south East Asian!
What about people who live in Hanoi, or anywhere near the border?
Vietnamese are indeed not Chinese and are southeast Asian which just makes all the Chinese loanwords in their language more interesting. It's almost like somebody speaking Chinese in a strange dialect.
In this case, SE Asia belongs to India since all the culture is product of noble Indians civilizing lowly Austroasiatic tribes South Vietnam rightfully belongs to India as it was once part of Cham Empire which was Hindu
Clearly not: Vietnam is in southeast Asia and it is Chinese culture. Southern Vietnam once did have Cham culture but it was not Indian.
You mad? Only North Vietnam is part of Sinosphere Rest of SE Asia rightfully belong to Indians. Phan Rang is just slant pronounciation of Panduranga
Vietnam is still Southeast Asia
This is like making a big deal that French and Spanish have a lot of words that came from Latin.
Considering history, this wouldn't be surprising
