Английская Википедия:Chữ Nôm
Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Infobox Writing system Шаблон:Contains special characters Шаблон:Table Hanzi Chữ Nôm (Шаблон:Vi-nom, Шаблон:IPA-vi)[1] is a logographic writing system formerly used to write the Vietnamese language. It uses Chinese characters (chữ Hán) to represent Sino-Vietnamese vocabulary and some native Vietnamese words, with other words represented by new characters created using a variety of methods, including phono-semantic compounds.Шаблон:Sfn This composite script was therefore highly complex and was accessible to less than five percent of the Vietnamese population who had mastered written Chinese.Шаблон:Sfn
Although formal writing in Vietnam was done in classical Chinese until the early 20th century (except for two brief interludes),Шаблон:Sfn chữ Nôm was widely used between the 15th and 19th centuries by the Vietnamese cultured elite for popular works in the vernacular, many in verse. One of the best-known pieces of Vietnamese literature, The Tale of Kiều, was written in chữ Nôm by Nguyễn Du.
The Vietnamese alphabet created by Portuguese Jesuit missionaries, with the earliest known usage occurring in the 17th century, replaced chữ Nôm as the preferred way to record Vietnamese literature from the 1920s. While Chinese characters are still used for decorative, historic and ceremonial value, chữ Nôm has fallen out of mainstream use in modern Vietnam. In the 21st century, chữ Nôm is being used in Vietnam for historical and liturgical purposes. The Institute of Hán-Nôm Studies at Hanoi is the main research centre for pre-modern texts from Vietnam, both Chinese-language texts written in Chinese characters (Шаблон:Lang) and Vietnamese-language texts in chữ Nôm.
Etymology
The Vietnamese word Шаблон:Lang 'character' is derived from the Middle Chinese word Шаблон:Transliteration Шаблон:Linktext, meaning '[Chinese] character'.Шаблон:Sfn[2] The word Шаблон:Lang 'Southern' is derived from the Middle Chinese word Шаблон:Transliteration Шаблон:Linktext,Шаблон:Efn meaning 'south'.Шаблон:Sfn[3] It could also be based on the dialectal pronunciation from the South Central dialects (most notably in the name of province of Quảng Nam, known locally as Quảng Nôm).[4]
There are many ways to write the name Шаблон:Lang in chữ Nôm characters. The word Шаблон:Lang may be written as Шаблон:Vi-nom, Шаблон:Nowrap, Шаблон:Vi-nom, Шаблон:Nowrap, Шаблон:Vi-nom, Шаблон:Vi-nom, Шаблон:Vi-nom, or Шаблон:Vi-nom, while Шаблон:Lang is written as Шаблон:Vi-nom.[5][6]
Terminology
Шаблон:Lang is the logographic writing system of the Vietnamese language. It is based on the Chinese writing system but adds a large number of new characters to make it fit the Vietnamese language. Common historical terms for chữ Nôm were Шаблон:Lang (Шаблон:Lang, 'national sound') and Шаблон:Lang (Шаблон:Lang, 'national language').
In Vietnamese, Chinese characters are called Шаблон:Lang (Шаблон:Vi-nom 'Han characters'), Шаблон:Lang (Шаблон:Vi-nom 'Confucian characters', due to the connection with Confucianism) and uncommonly as Шаблон:Lang (Шаблон:Vi-nom 'Han characters').[7][8][9] Hán văn (Шаблон:Vi-nom) refers literature written in Literary Chinese.[10][11]
The term Шаблон:Lang (Шаблон:Vi-nom 'Han and chữ Nôm characters')[12] in Vietnamese designates the whole body of premodern written materials from Vietnam, either written in Chinese (Шаблон:Lang) or in Vietnamese (Шаблон:Lang).[13] Hán and Nôm could also be found in the same document side by side,[14] for example, in the case of translations of books on Chinese medicine.[15] The Buddhist history Cổ Châu Pháp Vân phật bản hạnh ngữ lục (1752) gives the story of early Buddhism in Vietnam both in Hán script and in a parallel Nôm translation.[16] The Jesuit Girolamo Maiorica (1605–1656) had also used parallel Hán and Nôm texts.
The term Шаблон:Lang (Шаблон:Vi-nom 'national language script') refers to the Vietnamese alphabet in current use, but was used to refer to chữ Nôm before the Vietnamese alphabet was widely used.
History
Chinese characters were introduced to Vietnam after the Han dynasty conquered Nanyue in 111 BC. Independence was achieved after the Battle of Bạch Đằng in 938, but Literary Chinese was adopted for official purposes in 1010.Шаблон:Sfn For most of the period up to the early 20th century, formal writing was indistinguishable from contemporaneous classical Chinese works produced in China, Korea, and Japan.[17]
Vietnamese scholars were thus intimately familiar with Chinese writing. In order to record their native language, they applied the structural principles of Chinese characters to develop chữ Nôm. The new script was mostly used to record folk songs and for other popular literature.Шаблон:Sfn Vietnamese written in chữ Nôm briefly replaced Chinese for official purposes under the Hồ dynasty (1400–1407) and under the Tây Sơn (1778–1802), but in both cases this was swiftly reversed.Шаблон:Sfn
Early development
Шаблон:Further The use of Chinese characters to transcribe the Vietnamese language can be traced to an inscription with the two characters "Шаблон:Vi-nom", as part of the posthumous title of Phùng Hưng, a national hero who succeeded in briefly expelling the Chinese in the late 8th century. The two characters have literal Chinese meanings 'cloth' and 'cover', which make no sense in this context. They have thus been interpreted as a phonetic transcription, via their Middle Chinese pronunciations buH kajH, of a Vietnamese phrase, either Шаблон:Lang 'great king', or Шаблон:Lang 'father and mother' (of the people).Шаблон:Sfn[18]
After Vietnam established its independence from China in the 10th century, Đinh Bộ Lĩnh (r. 968–979), the founder of the Đinh dynasty, named the country Шаблон:Lang Шаблон:Vi-nom. The first and third Chinese characters mean 'great' and 'Viet'. The second character was often used to transcribe non-Chinese terms and names phonetically. In this context, cồ is an obsolete Vietnamese word for 'big'.Шаблон:EfnШаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn
The oldest surviving Nom inscription, dating from 1210, is a list naming 21 people and villages on a stele at the Tự Già Báo Ân pagoda in Tháp Miếu village (Mê Linh District, Hanoi).Шаблон:SfnШаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn Another stele at Hộ Thành Sơn in Ninh Bình Province (1343) lists 20 villages.Шаблон:Sfn[19]Шаблон:Efn
Trần Nhân Tông (r. 1278–1293) ordered that Nôm be used to communicate his proclamations to the people.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn The first literary writing in Vietnamese is said to have been an incantation in verse composed in 1282 by the Minister of Justice Nguyễn Thuyên and thrown into the Red River to expel a menacing crocodile.Шаблон:Sfn Four poems written in Nom from the Tran dynasty, two by Trần Nhân Tông and one each by Huyền Quang and Mạc Đĩnh Chi, were collected and published in 1805.Шаблон:Sfn
The Nôm text Шаблон:Lang ('Sūtra explained by the Buddha on the Great Repayment of the Heavy Debt to Parents') was printed around 1730, but conspicuously avoids the character Шаблон:Vi-nom Шаблон:Lang, suggesting that it was written (or copied) during the reign of Lê Lợi (1428–1433). Based on archaic features of the text compared with the Tran dynasty poems, including an exceptional number of words with initial consonant clusters written with pairs of characters, some scholars suggest that it is a copy of an earlier original, perhaps as early as the 12th century.Шаблон:Sfn
Hồ dynasty (1400–07) and Ming conquest (1407–27)
During the seven years of the Hồ dynasty (1400–07) Classical Chinese was discouraged in favor of vernacular Vietnamese written in Nôm, which became the official script. The emperor Hồ Quý Ly even ordered the translation of the Book of Documents into Nôm and pushed for reinterpretation of Confucian thoughts in his book Minh đạo.Шаблон:Sfn These efforts were reversed with the fall of the Hồ and Chinese conquest of 1407, lasting twenty years, during which use of the vernacular language and demotic script were suppressed.[20]
During the Ming dynasty occupation of Vietnam, chữ Nôm printing blocks, texts and inscriptions were thoroughly destroyed; as a result the earliest surviving texts of chữ Nôm post-date the occupation.[21]
15th to 19th century
Among the earlier works in Nôm of this era are the writings of Nguyễn Trãi (1380–1442).[22] The corpus of Nôm writings grew over time as did more scholarly compilations of the script itself. Шаблон:Interlanguage link, consort of King Lê Thần Tông, is generally given credit for Шаблон:Lang (指南玉音解義; 'guide to Southern Jade sounds: explanations and meanings'), a 24,000-character bilingual Hán-to-Nôm dictionary compiled between the 15th and 18th centuries, most likely in 1641 or 1761.[23][24]
While almost all official writings and documents continued to be written in classical Chinese until the early 20th century, Nôm was the preferred script for literary compositions of the cultural elites. Nôm reached its golden period with the Nguyễn dynasty in the 19th century as it became a vehicle for diverse genres, from novels to theatrical pieces, and instructional manuals. Although it was prohibited during the reign of Minh Mạng (1820–1840),Шаблон:Sfn apogees of Vietnamese literature emerged with Nguyễn Du's The Tale of Kiều[25] and Hồ Xuân Hương's poetry. Although literacy in premodern Vietnam was limited to just 3 to 5 percent of the population,Шаблон:Sfn nearly every village had someone who could read Nôm aloud for the benefit of other villagers.Шаблон:Sfn Thus these Nôm works circulated orally in the villages, making it accessible even to the illiterates.Шаблон:Sfn
Chữ Nôm was the dominant script in Vietnamese Catholic literature until the late 19th century.[26] In 1838, Jean-Louis Taberd compiled a Nôm dictionary, helping with the standardization of the script.[27]
The reformist Catholic scholar Nguyễn Trường Tộ presented the Emperor Tự Đức with a series of unsuccessful petitions (written in classical Chinese, like all court documents) proposing reforms in several areas of government and society. His petition Шаблон:Lang (Шаблон:Vi-nom 'Eight urgent matters', 1867), includes proposals on education, including a section entitled Шаблон:Lang ('Please tolerate the national voice'). He proposed to replace classical Chinese with Vietnamese written using a script based on Chinese characters that he called Шаблон:Lang (Шаблон:Vi-nom 'Han characters with national pronunciations'), though he described this as a new creation, and did not mention chữ Nôm.Шаблон:Sfn[28][29]
French Indochina and the Latin alphabet
From the latter half of the 19th century onwards, the French colonial authorities discouraged or simply banned the use of classical Chinese, and promoted the use of the Vietnamese alphabet, which they viewed as a stepping stone toward learning French. Language reform movements in other Asian nations stimulated Vietnamese interest in the subject. Following the Russo-Japanese War of 1905, Japan was increasingly cited as a model for modernization. The Confucian education system was compared unfavourably to the Japanese system of public education. According to a polemic by writer Phan Châu Trinh, "so-called Confucian scholars" lacked knowledge of the modern world, as well as real understanding of Han literature. Their degrees showed only that they had learned how to write characters, he claimed.[30]
The popularity of Hanoi's short-lived Tonkin Free School suggested that broad reform was possible. In 1910, the colonial school system adopted a "Franco-Vietnamese curriculum", which emphasized French and alphabetic Vietnamese. The teaching of Chinese characters was discontinued in 1917.[31] On December 28, 1918, Emperor Khải Định declared that the traditional writing system no longer had official status.[31] The traditional Civil Service Examination, which emphasized the command of classical Chinese, was dismantled in 1915 in Tonkin and was given for the last time at the imperial capital of Huế on January 4, 1919.[31] The examination system, and the education system based on it, had been in effect for almost 900 years.[31]
The decline of the Chinese script also led to the decline of chữ Nôm given that Nôm and Chinese characters are so intimately connected.Шаблон:Sfn After the First World War, chữ Nôm gradually died out as the Vietnamese alphabet grew more and popular.Шаблон:Sfn In an article published in 1935 (based on a lecture given in 1925), Georges Cordier estimated that 70% of literate persons knew the alphabet, 20% knew chữ Nôm and 10% knew Chinese characters.[32] However, estimates of the rate of literacy in the late 1930s range from 5% to 20%.Шаблон:Sfn By 1953, literacy (using the alphabet) had risen to 70%.Шаблон:Sfn
The Gin people, descendants of 16th-century migrants from Vietnam to islands off Dongxing in southern China, now speak a form of Yue Chinese and Vietnamese, but their priests use songbooks and scriptures written in chữ Nôm in their ceremonies.[33]

Types of texts
- Шаблон:Lang (Шаблон:Vi-nom) - a category of chữ Nôm texts that translates the "sounds" (word-for-word) of the original Literary Chinese text.[35][36] Examples include Tam thiên tự giải âm (Шаблон:Vi-nom), etc. (Often these translations attempt to match the word order as the original Literary Chinese text with no regard for Vietnamese syntax)
- Шаблон:Lang (Шаблон:Vi-nom) - synonym of Шаблон:Lang (Шаблон:Vi-nom).
- Шаблон:Lang (Шаблон:Vi-nom) - a category of chữ Nôm texts that translates the "meaning", often having no regard for Literary Chinese syntax.[37] Examples include Шаблон:Lang (Шаблон:Vi-nom).[37]
Characters
Vietnamese is a tonal language, like Chinese, and has nearly 5,000 distinct syllables.Шаблон:Sfn In chữ Nôm, each monosyllabic word of Vietnamese was represented by a character, either borrowed from Chinese or locally created. The resulting system was even more difficult to use than the Chinese script.Шаблон:Sfn
As an analytic language, Vietnamese was a better fit for a character-based script than Japanese and Korean, with their agglutinative morphology.Шаблон:Sfn Partly for this reason, there was no development of a phonetic system that could be taught to the general public, like Japanese kana syllabary or the Korean hangul alphabet.Шаблон:Sfn Moreover, most Vietnamese literati viewed Chinese as the proper medium of civilized writing, and had no interest in turning Nôm into a form of writing suitable for mass communication.Шаблон:Sfn
Variant characters
Chữ Nôm has never been standardized.Шаблон:Sfnp As a result, a Vietnamese word could be represented by several Nôm characters. For example, the very word Шаблон:Lang ('character', 'script'), a Chinese loanword, can be written as either Шаблон:Vi-nom (Chinese character), Шаблон:Vi-nom (Vietnamese-only compound-semantic character) or Шаблон:Vi-nom (Vietnamese-only semantic-phonetic character). For another example, the word Шаблон:Lang ('middle'; 'in between') can be written either as Шаблон:Vi-nom (Шаблон:Vi-nom) or Шаблон:Vi-nom (Шаблон:Vi-nom). Both characters were invented for Vietnamese and have a semantic-phonetic structure, the difference being the phonetic indicator (Шаблон:Vi-nom vs. Шаблон:Vi-nom).
Another example of a Vietnamese word that is represented by several Nôm characters is the word for moon, trăng. It can be represented by a Chinese character that is phonetically similar to trăng, Шаблон:Vi-nom (lăng), a chữ Nôm character, Шаблон:Vi-nom (Шаблон:Vi-nom) which is composed of two phonetic components Шаблон:Vi-nom (ba) and Шаблон:Vi-nom (lăng) for the Middle Vietnamese blăng, or a chữ Nôm character, Шаблон:Vi-nom (Шаблон:Vi-nom) composed of a phonetic component Шаблон:Vi-nom (lăng) and a semantic component meaning Шаблон:Vi-nom ('moon').
Borrowed characters
Unmodified Chinese characters were used in chữ Nôm in three different ways.
- A large proportion of Vietnamese vocabulary had been borrowed from Chinese from the Tang period. Such Sino-Vietnamese vocabulary could be written with the original Chinese character for each word, for example:Шаблон:Sfn
- Шаблон:Vi-nom Шаблон:Lang ('service', 'corvée'), from Early Middle Chinese (EMC) Шаблон:IPAШаблон:Sfn
- Шаблон:Vi-nom Шаблон:Lang ('root', 'foundation'), from EMC Шаблон:IPAШаблон:Sfn
- Шаблон:Vi-nom Шаблон:Lang ('head'), from EMC Шаблон:IPAШаблон:Sfn
- One way to represent a native Vietnamese word was to use a Chinese character for a Chinese word with a similar meaning. For example, Шаблон:Vi-nom may also represent Шаблон:Lang ('capital, funds'). In this case, the word Шаблон:Lang is actually an earlier Chinese loan that has become accepted as Vietnamese; William Hannas claims that all such readings are similar early loans.Шаблон:Sfn
- Alternatively, a native Vietnamese word could be written using a Chinese character for a Chinese word with a similar sound, regardless of the meaning of the Chinese word. For example, Шаблон:Vi-nom (Early Middle Chinese Шаблон:IPAШаблон:Sfn) may represent the Vietnamese word Шаблон:Lang ('one').Шаблон:Sfn
The first two categories are similar to the on and kun readings of Japanese kanji respectively.Шаблон:Sfn The third is similar to ateji, in which characters are used only for their sound value, or the Man'yōgana script that became the origin of hiragana and katakana.
When a character would have two readings, a diacritic may be added to the character to indicate the "indigenous" reading. The two most common alternate reading diacritical marks are Шаблон:Lang (Шаблон:Vi-nom), (a variant form of Шаблон:Vi-nom) and Шаблон:Lang (Шаблон:Vi-nom).[38] Thus when Шаблон:Vi-nom is meant to be read as Шаблон:Lang, it is written as Шаблон:Vi-nom,Шаблон:Efn with a diacritic at the upper right corner.Шаблон:Sfn
Other alternate reading diacritical marks include Шаблон:Lang (Шаблон:Vi-nom) where a character is represented by a simplified variant with two points on either side of the character.[39]
Locally invented characters
In contrast to the few hundred Japanese kokuji (国字) and handful of Korean gukja (국자, 國字), which are mostly rarely used characters for indigenous natural phenomena, Vietnamese scribes created thousands of new characters, used throughout the language.Шаблон:Sfn
As in the Chinese writing system, the most common kind of invented character in Nôm is the phono-semantic compound, made by combining two characters or components, one suggesting the word's meaning and the other its approximate sound. For example,Шаблон:Sfn
- Шаблон:Vi-nom (Шаблон:Lang 'three') is composed of the phonetic part Шаблон:Vi-nom (Sino-Vietnamese reading: Шаблон:Lang) and the semantic part Шаблон:Vi-nom 'three'. 'Father' is also Шаблон:Lang, but written as Шаблон:Vi-nom), while 'turtle' is Шаблон:Lang Шаблон:Vi-nom.
- Шаблон:Vi-nom (Шаблон:Lang 'mother') has Шаблон:Vi-nom 'woman' as semantic component and Шаблон:Vi-nom (Sino-Vietnamese reading: Шаблон:Lang) as phonetic component.Шаблон:Efn
A smaller group consists of semantic compound characters, which are composed of two Chinese characters representing words of similar meaning. For example, Шаблон:Vi-nom (Шаблон:Lang or Шаблон:Lang 'sky', 'heaven') is composed of Шаблон:Vi-nom ('sky') and Шаблон:Vi-nom ('upper').Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn
A few characters were obtained by modifying Chinese characters related either semantically or phonetically to the word to be represented. For example,
- the Nôm character Шаблон:Vi-nom (Шаблон:Lang 'that', 'those') is a simplified form of the Chinese character Шаблон:Vi-nom (Sino-Vietnamese reading: Шаблон:Lang).[40]
- the Nôm character Шаблон:Vi-nom (Шаблон:Lang 'work', 'labour') is a simplified form of the Chinese character Шаблон:Vi-nom (Sino-Vietnamese reading: Шаблон:Lang) (Шаблон:Vi-nom > Шаблон:Vi-nom > Шаблон:Vi-nom).[41]
- the Nôm character Шаблон:Vi-nom (một 'one') comes from the right part of the Chinese character Шаблон:Vi-nom (Sino-Vietnamese reading: Шаблон:Lang).[42]
Example
As an example of the way chữ Nôm was used to record Vietnamese, the first two lines of the Tale of Kiều (1871 edition), written in the traditional six-eight form of Vietnamese verse, consist of 14 characters:[43]
| character | word | gloss | derivation |
|---|---|---|---|
| Шаблон:Nowrap | Шаблон:Lang | hundred | compound of Шаблон:Vi-nom 'hundred' and Шаблон:Vi-nom Шаблон:Lang |
| Шаблон:Nowrap | Шаблон:Lang | year | compound of Шаблон:Vi-nom Шаблон:Lang and Шаблон:Vi-nom 'year' |
| Шаблон:Nowrap | Шаблон:Lang | in | compound of Шаблон:Vi-nom Шаблон:Lang and Шаблон:Vi-nom 'inside' |
| Шаблон:Nowrap | Шаблон:Lang | world | compound of Шаблон:Vi-nom 'earth' and Шаблон:Vi-nom Шаблон:Lang |
| Шаблон:Nowrap | Шаблон:Lang | person | compound of Шаблон:Vi-nom Шаблон:Lang and Шаблон:Vi-nom 'person' |
| Шаблон:Vi-nom | Шаблон:Lang | our | character of homophone Sino-Vietnamese Шаблон:Lang 'little, few; rather, somewhat' |
| Шаблон:Nowrap | Шаблон:Lang | word | compound of Шаблон:Vi-nom Шаблон:Lang and Шаблон:Vi-nom 'character; word' |
| Шаблон:Vi-nom | Шаблон:Lang | talent | Sino-Vietnamese word |
| Шаблон:Nowrap | Шаблон:Lang | word | compound of Шаблон:Vi-nom Шаблон:Lang and Шаблон:Vi-nom 'character; word' |
| Шаблон:Vi-nom | Шаблон:Lang | destiny | Sino-Vietnamese word |
| Шаблон:Vi-nom | Шаблон:Lang | clever | variant character of the near-homophone Sino-Vietnamese Шаблон:Vi-nom Шаблон:Lang 'hole', Sino-Vietnamese reading of Шаблон:Vi-nom is Шаблон:Lang |
| Шаблон:Vi-nom Шаблон:Vi-nom | Шаблон:Lang | to be | simplified form of Шаблон:Vi-nom Шаблон:Lang 'to be', using the character of near-homophone Sino-Vietnamese Шаблон:Lang 'net for catching birds' |
| Шаблон:Vi-nom | Шаблон:Lang | hate | compound of Шаблон:Vi-nom 'heart' classifier and Шаблон:Vi-nom Шаблон:Lang |
| Шаблон:Vi-nom | Шаблон:Lang | each other | character of near-homophone Sino-Vietnamese Шаблон:Lang 'bountiful, abundant, plentiful' |
Computer encoding
In 1993, the Vietnamese government released an 8-bit coding standard for alphabetic Vietnamese (TCVN 5712:1993, or VSCII), as well as a 16-bit standard for Nôm (TCVN 5773:1993).[44] This group of glyphs is referred to as "V0." In 1994, the Ideographic Rapporteur Group agreed to include Nôm characters as part of Unicode.[45] A revised standard, TCVN 6909:2001, defines 9,299 glyphs.[46] About half of these glyphs are specific to Vietnam.[46] Nôm characters not already encoded were added to CJK Unified Ideographs Extension B.[46] (These characters have five-digit hexadecimal code points. The characters that were encoded earlier have four-digit hex.)

The V2, V3, and V4 proposals were developed by a group at the Han-Nom Research Institute led by Nguyễn Quang Hồng.[46] V4, developed in 2001, includes over 400 ideograms formerly used by the Tày people of northern Vietnam.[46] This allows the Tày language to get its own registration code.[46] V5 is a set of about 900 characters proposed in 2001.[46] As these characters were already part of Unicode, the IRG concluded that they could not be edited and no Vietnamese code was added.[46] (This is despite the fact that national codes were added retroactively for version 3.0 in 1999.) The Nôm Na Group, led by Ngô Thanh Nhàn, published a set of nearly 20,000 Nôm characters in 2005.[48] This set includes both the characters proposed earlier and a large group of additional characters referred to as "V6".[46] These are mainly Han characters from Trần Văn Kiệm's dictionary which were already assigned code points. Character readings were determined manually by Hồng's group, while Nhàn's group developed software for this purpose.[49] The work of the two groups was integrated and published in 2008 as the Hán Nôm Coded Character Repertoire.[49]

The characters that do not exist in Chinese have Sino-Vietnamese readings that are based on the characters given in parentheses. The common character for càng (Шаблон:Vi-nom) contains the radical Шаблон:Vi-nom (insects).[50] This radical is added redundantly to create Шаблон:Vi-nom, a rare variation shown in the chart above. The character Шаблон:Vi-nom (chàu) is specific to the Tày people.[51] It has been part of the Unicode standard only since version 8.0 of June 2015, so there is still very little font and input method support for it. It is a variation of Шаблон:Vi-nom, the corresponding character in Vietnamese.[52]

Therefore, han nom is the term designating the whole body of premodern written materials.."
- ↑ Vietnam Courier 1984 Vol20/21 Page 63 "Altogether about 15,000 books in Han, Nom and Han—Nom have been collected. These books include royal certificates granted to deities, stories and records of deities, clan histories, family genealogies, records of cutsoms, land registers, ..."

Many of these entries ... Vietnam were written in either Nôm or Hán-Nôm rather than in 'pure' Chinese. My initial impression was that the percentage of texts written in Nôm was even higher. This is because for the particular medical subject I wished to investigate-smallpox-the percentage of texts written in Nom or Hán-Nôm is even higher than is the percentage of texts in Nôm and Hán-Nôm for general medical and pharmaceutical .."

- ↑ Шаблон:Harvnb: "Because the Chinese characters were pronounced according to Vietnamese preferences, and because certain stylistic modifications occurred over time, later scholars came to refer to a hybrid "Sino-Vietnamese" (Han-Viet) language. However, there would seem to be no more justification for this term than for a fifteenth-century "Latin-English" versus the Latin written contemporaneously in Rome."

- ↑ Шаблон:Harvnb: "An exception was during the brief Hồ dynasty (1400–07), when Chinese was abolished and chữ Nôm became the official script, but the subsequent Chinese invasion and twenty-year occupation put an end to that (Helmut Martin 1982:34)."

McLeod, Thi Dieu Nguyen Culture and Customs of Vietnam 2001 Page 68 – "In part because of the ravages of the Ming occupation — the invaders destroyed or removed many Viet texts and the blocks for printing them — the earliest body of nom texts that we have dates from the early post-occupation era ..."
