[edit] Re: fr:Contentieux sino-vietnamien

Du point de vue linguistique, la langue vietnamienne est une langue cantonaise, comme la langue anglaise est une langue germano-scandinave (anglo-saxonne) et l’adjectif se met avant le nom qu’il qualifie, comme en philologie anglo-germanique, en contraste à la philologie latino-romane de la langue française où l’adjectif qualificatif est placé après le nom propre ou commun.

If this says what I thinks it says (that in Vietnamese, the adjective comes before the noun as in English and Cantonese), it is absolutely false. In Vietnamese, the adjective follows the noun, not precedes it. The rare case where the adjective precedes the nouns are Sino-Vietnamese phrases, and are very awkward in Vietnamese.

Hi buddy.

You'd be right if you take modern vietnamese (Quoc Ngu: "National writting", in contrast of the "Han writting" and simplified" Nôm" )made by a Portuguese Marane Priest. I was talking about ancient vietnamese I try hard to recover from Japanese kanji.

Let's take a an example with the roast duck ("Xiou Hap" in Cantonese) spelled in modern vietmamese (built on portuguese and Spanish signs) as "Vit quay". Not long ago, in Viet Bac and Yunnan, I've heard this as "Quay Vit"!!!

I've found North Vietnamese speech closer to Cantonese than the one in the South. Is that right?

You may be helpful in my learning.

I think we need to make a distinction between written language and spoken language. Classical Chinese did not reflect the syntax of spoken Chinese, nor does it reflect Vietnamese syntax (or vocabulary). Quoc ngu is a transcription of spoken Vietnamese, which hasn't changed just because the writing system changed. The syntax between northern and southern Vietnamese is virtually identical, only pronunciations vary. DHN 22:26, 7 April 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for trhe distinction between spoken and written Vietnamese and the syntax. I left Vietnam at 6 in 1945. All of Vienamese I knew was" kitchen speach". I had to learn later in adulthood to put names on things and odors.

Modern written Vietnamese (Quoc ngu) is a transcription of spoken Vietnamese, so it has the same syntax as spoken Vietnamese. A northerner can understand a southerner just fine and vice versa but neither would be able to understand a Cantonese speaker. DHN 23:09, 7 April 2006 (UTC)
