Secondary school

Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon), Vietnam

(Note: The French introduced the romanized writing of the Vietnamese language that had
previously been written in variants of Chinese characters. Eventually the use of the western
alphabet, with the addition of accents, completely replaced the original Vietnamese language.)

I would like to have Romanized writing instead of those chinese scripts... Those Chinese characters was not original Viet writing also... We used to have our own scripts which look like Thai before Chinese came and ruled.

So figure it out please... both latin and chinese writing are all loaned.. But i prefer Romanized ones. Vietnam have never wanted to adopt anything from CHINA!!!!!
