"The Enduring Legacy of French in Vietnam: Exploring the Cultural and Linguistic Influence"

Info

The French language has a long and complex history in Vietnam, with its influence still felt in the country today.

During the French colonial period from the late 19th to mid-20th century, the French language became deeply embedded in Vietnamese society, leaving an indelible mark on the country's culture, infrastructure, and even everyday language.

One of the most visible vestiges of the French colonial era is the continued use of the French language in certain spheres of Vietnamese life.

While Vietnamese (specifically the Quốc Ngữ script) is the official and predominant language, French remains an important secondary language, especially in business, academia, and government.

Many Vietnamese professionals, particularly those in fields like law, diplomacy, and higher education, are fluent in French and utilize it regularly in their work. - https://vietnamfocusguide.com/blog/is-french-still-spoken-in-vietnam/?unique_id_b8cywmil
