In “a journey to find ancient vietnamese writing,” author do van xuyen attempts to decode an ancient vietnamese writing system – the writing of a brilliant civilization from the dynasty of the hung kings who built up the van lang country.

Ancient Vietnamese Writing Vietnamese lexicon has a small handful of tai loanwords presumably borrowed even before han dynasty (200 bce 200 ce) when proto–tai people lent the ancestors of vietnamese some technology related to agriculture and animal husbandry with the relevant vocabulary (cf. alves 2009). Quoc ngu, writing system used for the vietnamese language. quoc ngu was devised in the mid 17th century by portuguese missionaries who modified the roman alphabet with accents and signs to suit the particular consonants, vowels, and tones of vietnamese. Chữ quốc ngữ, developed by missionaries, transformed vietnamese writing using latin script, gaining prominence post colonization. vietnam's cultural identity has evolved through a complex interplay of indigenous, chinese, and western influences. Although dominated by chinese feudal regime for almost a thousand year, the old vietnamese manage to come up with their own system to record all the local words, and through time, nôm has come to record almost every vietnamese particular features, from language to culture, politics to economy.

In response to the limitations of chữ hán, vietnamese scholars developed a hybrid script called chữ nôm around the 13th century. this system used modified and newly invented chinese characters to represent native vietnamese words and sounds that did not exist in chinese. This document summarizes the history of vietnamese literature and the scripts used. it discusses how vietnamese literature originated orally but later transitioned to written works using classical chinese, nom characters, and the romanized quoc ngu script. To bridge the gap between spoken vietnamese and the chinese script, vietnamese scholars developed a unique writing system called chữ nôm. emerging around the 13th century, chữ nôm adapted and modified chinese characters to represent native vietnamese words, sounds, and grammatical structures. Spoken and written vietnamese today uses the latin script based vietnamese alphabet to represent vietnamese words which are of chinese origin (hán việt, or sino vietnamese), native vietnamese words (thuần việt), and other foreign loanwords.
