My aunt tells me there are differences between people from North and South of Vietnam....
What are they?
Full Version: What the the differences?
Are you Vietnamese? Anyway, there are dialects in Vietnamese differing by region although it's not like Cantonese and Mandarin. In the North when people talk there are no gi/r/d sounds. Instead all of those sounds become a soft z sound. The consonant mixes tr/ch both sound like ch. In the south they can distinguish between all of those sounds. There are also vocabulary differences by region.
1. in the north they call HANOI=HALOI. in the south HANOI=HANOI
northern people have the problem pronouncing the L and N letters. the chinese have the same problem.
2. northern people are kẹo
3. northern people like to nịnh
what else?

not really, just people who are considered to be "nha` que^" in the North speaking with these accent. HaNoians don't speak like that.
If I said all the differences North <> South, this thread will probably receive a resquest for closing!

Anyway, life is very different in the North or in the South (manners in the family circle, manners in social life in general, in relations with others; what means money, how to spend it; food and taste; style... there's a long list)

Education is very strict in the North. More calm and discretion. No bragging and less futility, etc.

What are they?
North Vietnamese: In the old days of almighty kings and their powerful mandarins, northerners especially the capital's people developed some kind of defensive mechanism to keep their heads from leaving their necks. They were living near the "sun", if they were not careful with their words or didn't know how to keep their mouth shut, they could easily "get burned", losing not only their heads, but also the heads of 3 generations of their family members. Over the years, they became suspicious of suggestions, new ideas, and of changes. They were afraid of frank talks, of direct and open discussions. These characteristics were seen by outsiders as being evasive, diplomatic, and conservative.
Living under the abusive power of kings and mandarins for a long time (at least one thousands years under Vietnamese kings, not to mention another thousand years of harsh Chinese rule) has seen many northerners develop some kind of catering, bending, and toadying attitude towards people of high position and influence. The northerners have learned that to get things done, they might have to flatter and bend a little.
North Vietnam was a region plagued by yearly drought and floods, the majority of the people were poor farmers having a hard time to make ends meet, not to mention the heavy taxes burden put on their heads by abusive native kings and brutal foreign rules. Over the years, they developed a thrifty habit often seen as being stingy.
South Vietnamese: Many southerners could trace their roots all the way back to the north. Their ancestors were mostly poor peasants who, facing poverty and hunger, had to leave their ancestral land to seek a new life with new opportunities in the new lands conquered by the Nguyen Lords' push to the south starting as early as the 17th century.
The early settlers found themselves on vast, fertile, and thinly populated lands. South Vietnam was a region blessed with favorable climate, abundant crops, fruits, and fisheries. Living far away from the king and his court, even the Nguyen Lords adopted policies in favor of the new comers to encourage more people to come and live in the conquered territories, the early southerners gradually developed new ways of thinking and doing things quite different from those of their northern compatriots.
The southerners were more direct and open, in favor of direct and frank talks, they didn't like to beat around the bush. (This southern straightforwardness was seen by many northerners as being unsophisticated.) Living a relatively easy lifestyle due to favorable conditions, the southerners seemed to be generous to each other and even to strangers. Many of them, especially the well-to-do, seemed to spend money with a worry-free attitude.
Conclusion: It could be said northerners are more conservative, bound by traditions, while southerners are more open, direct, and adaptive to changes. This northern, conservative pull plus the southern liberal push will serve as a check and balance to create an equilibrium for the country to advance steadily into the 21st century.

^Some normal truths, but the rest is complete BS.
In social relations, the definition of the word Stingy is this: someone is stingy when he or she doesn't give me his or her money.
In the North, with their money, they prefer to give it away to the temple or to the people who need it rather than, like in the South, spend the little money they make day by day and brag about their wasting it, or pretend how liberal they are -- but with somebody else's money.
Northerners are also more faithful to their legitimate spouses. And although they also playful, they hate cock and bull stories, and when they tell a big lie to the children for the fun of it, they always make sure it's understood it's a creatively invented story, not reality.

Viet Nam is one nation, Vietnamese is one people, F these North and South things!
My old man is from the north and my mom from the south, i see no difference between the family on both sides, just different accent that's all, i speak both bac and nam but i don't speak bac when talking to someone on my father side, i speak in nam more often and they understand fine, vice versa. Besides diff. accent and certain grammatical usages, north and south the same to me, food no different, music no different, equally strict towards their childrens, same expectations, they all seem vietnamese to me. Any difference in attitude, lifestyle that's just individual personal preferences. One aunt doesn't like fish sauce and leans more towards chinese cookings, while another doesn't mind fish sauce yet they're both from the north.....stereotype is just that, over generalization.

The North rule over the Southerners.
Its actually VietNamese running VietNam, not North rule over South.
There are differents in thinking, mentality between North and South. It's more correct to say between Northern, Central and Southern regions. It's not bull$hitting, there is actually a paper about it. It's all come down to social organization, how land was shared and community solidarity.
RE-THINKING THE “TRADITIONAL VIETNAMESE VILLAGE”: HISTORICAL GIS IN VIETNAM
Brian Zottoli
University of Michigan
As Vietnam's cultural heritage becomes more accessible to archaeologists, anthropologists and historians, a large body of historical sources, including gazetteers, edicts, inscriptions and village records, awaits academic scrutiny. Scholars have a valuable opportunity to enrich our understanding of Vietnam's history through analysis of texts that include a spatial component, a task facilitated by Geographic Information Science (GIS). This paper offers a demonstration of the utility of spatial analysis by re-examining an idea that has pervaded much historical writing on Vietnam: the notion that there was a sharp division in forms of social organization between the northern and southern regions.
Conventional wisdom holds that "traditional" villages of the Red River delta exemplified a culture of community solidarity and communal distribution of village resources. Contemporary Vietnamese histories suggest that this spirit of public ownership helped inspire northern villagers' united opposition to foreign aggression by Chinese, French and American invaders. In stark contrast to the north, southern villages being less traditional had little public land; southern society is thought to have been more open to commerce and to foreign influences. Hints of this north-south dichotomy are discernable throughout post-World War II scholarship.
By most accounts, villages in the central region imitated the communal model of villages in the north. Northern Vietnamese migrants were thought to have established new communal villages in what is typically imagined to have been a southern expansion, displacing the Cham peoples along the central coast. The policy, attributed to the pre-colonial state, of communalization of wild or privately-owned land, is thought to have continued into the nineteenth century. Recently, however, some international and Vietnamese scholars have instead classified villages of the central region together with communities having predominantly private land ownership, common in the Mekong delta region, and portrayed the regime in Hue as more commerce-friendly than the regime in Thang Long.
Spatial analysis of the historical record suggests that both these views may be misleading generalizations. Both the community and private models need to be revised to reflect more complex patterns and relationships. The region with the greatest concentration of publicly owned and allocated land, it can be shown, was not the north but the center; even within the central region, there was great variation, with more private land appearing with greater distance from the court at Hue. These findings cast doubt on the southern expansion paradigm of Vietnamese colonization of the central coast. They perhaps point instead to a degree of co-existence and cultural integration between Northern (Viet) settlers and earlier (Cham) residents of Central Vietnam during the 14th to 18th centuries.

We call them "piment martiniquais" ớt Tây đen Martinique. They are the most explosive chillies, hotter than "ớt chỉ thiên", but as they have no flavor, are only used mixed with better bouquet flavored chillies to add sure extreme hotness -- for the connoisseur. I cook my own preserved hot chilly sauce!!! LOL next on the menu, a spicy hot curry together cooked with 1 or 2 of these fu-kers! it make all your taste bugs go all numb for hours
