What Exactly Is Chu Nom Script?
Chu Nom (字喃) is a logographic writing system created by Vietnamese scholars between the 10th and 20th centuries to transcribe the Vietnamese language. Unlike Chinese characters (which it resembles), Chu Nom was tailored specifically for Vietnamese sounds and meanings. Think of it as Vietnam's answer to the need for a written language that truly reflected its spoken words. Sadly, its usage declined after the adoption of the Latin-based Quoc Ngu script, but today, Chu Nom is experiencing a revival among historians and cultural preservationists.
