pick one plz...! just a poll to see what vietnamese people prefer.

I Prefer Chu Quoc Ngu for sure.

y no votes!!

Chu Nom

I prefer Chu Quoc Ngu. So much easier to learn.

it would help if you guys can explain why you prefer it... you dont have to, but its helpful,, thankyouu!!

Neither

Chu nom- sometimes it looks ugly because of unproportional radicals.

Chu quoc ngu- too much driatics and the monosyllabic style pissed me off

Chu quoc ngu of course. Why keep the masses illiterate? But there need to be a change in Chu quoc ngu, as of right now we're just using what the european gave to us. It's not even accurate.

I dont like the chinese characters. You dont even know how you should prnounce them, because its just a bunch of strange lines, and they're too complicated for many viet ppl to learn.

Chu Quoc Ngu is at least a bit phonetic, easier for everyone.

haha ur a funny one...! lol very

you got that right. Chu quoc ngu spelling aren't even accurate nowadays

I don't know if I like both, or neither. It depends on the time I guess, I wish Vietnam develops a writing system like Korea, but we haven't experienced too much peace times in order to think about those stuff I guess... but writing in Chu Nom and Chu Quoc Ngu are both cool too. It doesn't matter much as long as we don't change the words we use.. I've seen Viet Ngu instead of Tieng Viet in a website and I hated it!! stupid. Btw, I voted for both.

Chữ nôm, hands down!
The advantage of using a logographic script is the ability to immediately know a word's meaning by seeing the chữ. A phonetic script on the other hand suffers from homonyms

Of course chu quoc ngu. it's easier to learn

Chu Nom for sure. It would be more accurate for our language. Not to mention the advantage the next generation would have being able to read some of the Chinese characters.

i pick chu nom. it is such a waste of 2000 years of literature for some western made roman alphabets, i say use chu nom and chu quoc ngu hand in hand

what is chu no\m? ur writing script?

austronesion people like you wont know so i am not gonna waste my time explaining what to chu nom to you

yeah thanks for quoting yourself. but i already had a vague understanding of it from omniglot! |

I would still pick Chu Quoc Ngu over Chu Nom. Alternatively, we can just develop another language altogether.

i would actually like to see another of our own scripts with our own characters too... and made by us.

wow this new upgrades looks pretty cool,, i mean the forum look.

why dont yall just use cham writing? its really cool! and then that is like the ultimate acknowledging their heritage which u conquered!

isnt that what is happening in myanmar? the ethnic burman conquered the ethnic mon but they are using mon script today?

it's not cool, it looks like drawing flowers and weirdish symbols.

i think it is one of the best looking writing script along with javanese, balinese, and thai

Both seem to have their advantages and disadvantages, but I'm used to Chu Quoc Ngu, so I'll vote for that. Yea, yea, weak logic, but oh well.



You're absolutely right, we should really change our writing system to conform with those that are more aesthetically pleasing....

Chăm wouldn't work because there aren't any tone markers

oh yeah i forgot cham is an monotonal language and viet is a tonal language.

well if u think about it, isnt mon a monotone language and the invading burmese spoke a tonal language? you can still sorta tweak the script right?

because they are weak !

I suppose we could create diacritics or something to show the tones.
I don't really like Chăm though; it looks funny. Soyombo is better!

how about someone design a cool looking writing, so we can use for vietnamese.. and then post it up, lol something cool like korean lol..

I don't know; it's hard to create a writing system but I'll give it a shot!
the Lao script would work pretty well to write Vietnamese, neh?

ummm... neh... its looks like jiberish latin alphabets lol. some look like alphabets but written backwards, upsidedown etc. haha

I prefer chu quoc ngu
