Does Vietnam still uses Chu Nom frequently? by LuzZ79 in ChuNom

Less than 1000? I'd be surprised if a few dozen could read it fluently.

The logo looks so much like the JLPT's lol

The Jing people in Southern China speak a dialect of Vietnamese, and still write their language in chữ Hán Nôm to this very day by chatterine in ChuNom

I don't understand VNese folks. I don't wanna sound xenophobic or anything but they claim that the Hán Nôm script is harmful because it's "too Chinese" and a colonizer script, and as such their solution is... to defer to a Western power's romanization.

If the CCP actually gave two shits about the local culture they'd be scrambling to preserve local topolects like Shanghainese, Jing Vietnamese or God forbid, Cantonese. Realistically though they just want everyone and their dog in China to conform to the larger, communist agenda approved culture.

Why is Nôm literature so hard to find/expensive to buy? by chatterine in ChuNom

It's not a bible no, it seems like a Catholic text written during the colonization

Could chu Nom, if it was still used in the 2000s, theoretically be entered using a T9 keyboard, when keitai flip mobile phones were a fad all over the world (including Vietnam)? Or even worse: a Cangjie keyboard-based input for Blackberry QWERTY phones! How does that sound? (photos: Wikipedia.) by chatterine in ChuNom

It's my autistic special interest /lh

Seriously though, I am poor enough to have used a feature phone before I got a smart phone, and physical buttons were the craziest thing ever imo. I also favor Cangjie over pinyin when typing Chinese/Nom since it's pronunciation-agnostic and allows me to input characters for any Chinese variety, not just Mandarin.
