Hi, thanks for watching the video!

📄 More on Chữ Nôm 📄

• Some people recently standardized Chữ Nôm. You can find a table of 5000+ characters here: https://www.hannom-rcv.org/BCHNCTD.html
(All credits go to Hán Nôm Revival Committee of Vietnam)

• CORRECTION: At 5:15, I said "except for one occasion in history." In fact, there were two. The other occasion happened during the Tây Sơn Dynasty (西山朝), where Chữ Nôm was actually used in examination.

• At 6:03 I gave some examples of famous works written in Chữ Nôm, you can read more about each work here: (some of them don't have an english translation though)

• Chữ Nôm (Nom characters) and Chữ Hán (漢字 Hán tự/Chinese characters) are not the same. Chữ Nôm is Vietnamese-invented characters AND Chữ Hán combined.

• Did Vietnamese used to sound different from now? Yes! It is also reflected in Chữ Nôm: in Vietnamese, "the moon" is "trăng." Back then, they used a character that has the sound component 巴 (ba) and 夌 (lăng), which suggests it was actually read blăng. Modern Vietnamese doesn't have the "bl" sound anymore and we changed it to "trăng" instead.

• Does Vietnamese people still use Chữ Nôm? - No, we can't even read any Chinese unless we take classes.

• Where can I learn Chữ Nôm? - i don't know
