Vietnamese is the official language of Vietnam, spoken by roughly 85 million native speakers and using a Latin-based alphabet (Quoc Ngu) with diacritical marks to indicate six tones. It belongs to the Austroasiatic language family and is studied by heritage speakers, business professionals working in Southeast Asia, and travelers seeking to communicate with locals. Learning it involves mastering tonal pronunciation, which significantly changes word meaning.
