What can/should this article be linked to in vi.wp? or indeed zh.wp? In ictu oculi (talk) 01:02, 19 July 2013 (UTC)
- I'm not aware of an article on this topic on any other wiki. It happens. Kanguole 01:09, 19 July 2013 (UTC)
- Mm. Oh well I've added breakout template from Vietnamese Literature and History of writing in Vietnam. Does the above need a WP Literature tag or WP Linguistics tag? I mean is the main subject the written works or the language? In ictu oculi (talk) 01:42, 19 July 2013 (UTC)
- I think the subject is the use of the language, which includes literature, but also routine administration, correspondence, etc. There's a little about the language, but there's little to say; after all Vietnamese scholars were proud of their impeccably standard Chinese.

"Southern" writing
Nôm means "vernacular" or "chattering", as you can see here and here. Compare:
- 喃 (nôm, chattering)
- 南 (nam, south) LostFederation (talk) 07:38, 10 August 2013 (UTC)
- The reading "Southern writing" for the Vietnamese phrase chữ Nôm comes from the cited source, DeFrancis (1977) p. 27. Kanguole 10:29, 10 August 2013 (UTC)
- Somebody must have got confused because the two characters look similar. This character means the same thing in Chinese as it does in Vietnamese, so even a Chinese dictionary would clarify this point. This book cites Durand's An Introduction to Vietnamese Literature, which seems to be a widely cited source on this subject. LostFederation (talk) 11:40, 10 August 2013 (UTC)
