More on Chữ Nôm ? • Some people recently standardized Chữ Nôm. You can find a table of 5000+ characters here: https://www.hannom-rcv.org/BCHNCTD.html (All credits go to Hán Nôm Revival Committee of Vietnam) • CORRECTION: At 5:15, I said "except for one occasion in history." In fact, there were two. The other occasion happened during the Tây Sơn Dynasty (西山朝), where Chữ Nôm was actually used in examination. • At 6:03 I gave some examples of famous works written in Chữ Nôm, you can read more about each work here: (some of them don't have an english translation though) - Chinh Phụ Ngâm Khúc: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinh_ph%E1%BB%A5_ng%C3%A2m - Bánh Trôi Nước, Quả Mít: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/H%E1%BB%93_Xu%C3%A2n_H%C6%B0%C6%A1ng#Works - Lục Vân Tiên: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/L%E1%BB%A5c_V%C3%A2n_Ti%C3%AAn - Truyện Kiều: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Tale_of_Kieu - Qua Đèo Ngang: http://viethocjournal.com/2020/05/ba-huyen-thanh-quan/ • Chữ Nôm (Nom characters) and Chữ Hán (漢字 Hán tự/Chinese characters) are not the same. Chữ Nôm is Vietnamese-invented characters AND Chữ Hán combined. • Did Vietnamese used to sound different from now? Yes! It is also reflected in Chữ Nôm: in Vietnamese, "the moon" is "trăng." Back then, they used a character that has the sound component 巴 (ba) and 夌 (lăng), which suggests it was actually read blăng. Modern Vietnamese doesn't have the "bl" sound anymore and we changed it to "trăng" instead. • Does Vietnamese people still use Chữ Nôm? - No, we can't even read any Chinese unless we take classes. • Where can I learn Chữ Nôm? - i don't know ? Frequently asked questions ? • What do you use to edit? - Davinci Resolve, free but i hate how it's so sosososoo complicated than needed :"c • What program do you use to record? - Audacity, also free though I don't use any effects so it's not different from using a default voice recorder. • Microphone? - Random $45 mic I found on Shopee called Maono DM30 (gave me electric shock a few times, i am scared) • How to make videos like this? - It is a powerpoint slide with a little editing. • What languages can you speak? - Vietnamese (native), English (fluent), Japanese (N4), Cantonese (A1~A2) • Any last word? - hoping this video won't flop ? ? find me elsewhere ?
