The best part is toward the end about what’s it to be Vietnamese. I am so glad that you two able to open up and shared as most of us Vietnamese born overseas we can related to your conversation. I was fortunate to experience what similar what you and Nam said. We just have to jump into it as we are a piece of Vietnam. When we jump into it they open up to us… 😊
I've read about the Viet diasporas in Korea from th Lý dynasty in the mid-late 80s when I was in college. In fact, a few of us in the Vietnamese Students Association at Univ. Calif., Irvine replayed this story in play during a Tét event. The original article was written by an overseas Vietnamese doctor, i think from France in the 60s or 70s, who visited Korea and discovered a family tree that traced back to the Ly dynasty. More recently, this becomes more common knowledge, especially when a delegation of South Koreans visited Vietnam at the Ly ancestral shirine. I feel that you may want to start your research with the article feom the Vietnamese doctor. Thanks
I can relate to what he said about finding identity. As a Chinese who is born in Vietnam, when I befriend with Vietnamese people, they never consider me as Vietnamese. If I meet Chinese people they treat me as a Vietnamese . I left Vietnam at age 7 and live in the US since 1980.So naturally English becomes my first language. When I was in Vietnam my father sent me to Chinese school . Because I didn’t go to public school I I couldn’t speak Vietnamese. From Elementary to high school I had no Asian friends because belong to neither Chinese nor Vietnamese group. One day I decided to learn how to speak Chinese and Vietnamese fluently . It was interesting they mentioned about language. I find Vietnamese is the most easiest language to learn in the world. Because I can speak 8 Chinese dialects Vietnamese is the interchange language of Chinese. There are so many documentary about how Vietnam was formed. The questions you were wondering. But they are in Mandarin Chinese .
So your father sent you to Chinese school in Vietnam & you didn't speak any Vietnamese. So why do you expect them to treat you like a Vietnamese when you don't want to be Vietnamese? You're just a troll
@@ductoantran3072 Yue and Viet might sound similar but it is totally different in written Chinese character. Yue came from Han China and Viet are South East Asian and originally Austronesian.
@@ToiYeuGaiViet The first emperor of Vietnam also had a Vietnamese perspective. The Vietnamese called him Trieu Da, which is basically the same person as Zhao Tuo.
I think they're orginal from Chinese mainland they usually live in the sea .that why they use French Alphabet to change their true Chinese identity. They celebrate new year like Chinese.
Vietnamese are Mon Khmer people they are one branches of the Cambodian people, their language belong to the Austroasiatic language . Mon Khmer language .
The Vietnamese language is a branch of the mon-Khmer language, and language is only one aspect of society. Mexicans speak a form of Spanish, but are they Spanish?

Kudos to you.
Thank you for the kind thoughts

If you are Chinese but from southern China (Guangdong, Guangxi,...), then you are probably Yue people, (Việt in vietnamese); not Han.

@@jacku8304 No, you got a mistake. Yue in china are Austronesian in ADN. They were sinicized
@@jacku8304it’s the same race, just different pronunciation
Who are we? Where are we going? Thank you for his research and knowledge.
Great questions that I think take more than 2 hours to examine. We need a few more sit downs with Nam.
Sadly, a lot of VN expatriates lack empathy to those in Afghanistan.
The first emperor of Vietnam, Zhao Tuo, came from heibei which is modern day Beijing.
It's from the Chinese perspective. It's probably questionable.
@@ToiYeuGaiViet The first emperor of Vietnam also had a Vietnamese perspective. The Vietnamese called him Trieu Da, which is basically the same person as Zhao Tuo.
Did we used to tattoo? any evidence of that
There is no pure Vietnamese bc Everyone is mixed, nowadays 😏The Kim last name had been in Vietnam long before Vietnamese know about Korea/Korean
Wow, I hope of good luck with your life of you do.
I think vietnamese are related to the indigenous south chinese before northerners arrived and intermixed.
😎😎😎
Lý Long Tường...
However there are some discrepancies between the Korean and vietnamese record. Apparently he fought the mongols
@@vietle87 can you elaborate? Ly Long Tường fought Mongol in Korea.

Are you talking about Kinh Vietnamese or Khmer Vietnamese?
@@PhongNguyen-xm9sd Kinh Vietnamese.

@@nycetume2605 they are heavily intermixed Spanish.
Ok, this guy are not 100 percent honest
