People of Vietnam
The people of Vietnam have a unique and fascinating culture that has been shaped by thousands of years of history. Their culture has been influenced by many other civilizations: the ancient peoples that once inhabited the land, the Chinese, the French, and most recently, the Americans and Russians. From all these outside influences, and centuries of war, oppression, and hardship, they have formed, and maintained their culture. The people of Vietnam are hard working and feel strong ties to their families. They are well versed in the arts, and have made several contributions to the world of literature. Aside from their painful history, the Vietnamese people have a culture and many customs, all their own. Ao Dai is the traditional Vietnamese dress
Presently there are about 75 million people in
Vietnam. Eighty percent of these are ethnic Vietnamese, while the remaining
twenty percent comprises more than fifty separate ethnic groups. About seven
million of these ethnic minorities are members of the hill tribes or
montagnards (French for mountain people), making their homes and livelihoods
in the spectacular mountains of the north and central highlands. Among the many
languages spoken in Vietnam are Vietnamese, Chinese, English, French, and
Russian.
