Among the 54 Vietnamese ethnic
groups some have had their own scripts for a
long time and some have not preserved their
ancient scripts. As a matter of fact, some
ethnic groups consisting of some hundreds of
individuals living in remote areas have their
own languages.
Vietnamese literary tradition
has evolved through the multiple events that
have marked the country’s history. New literary
movements can usually be observed every ten
years but in the last century, Vietnamese
literature underwent several literary
transitions.
Since coming into existence,
Vietnamese literature has been rich in folklore
and proverbs; tales that have been handed down
from generation to generation, gradually
becoming valuable treasures.
