Pronouncing Nam wrong (the a sound is more like the a in *a*pple than the a in f*a*ther) is understandable.
But how the hell can you pronounce Baiyue like Bayou?
Bai: like bye in goodbye
Yue: say "You air" really fast
Cam I also sugest anything if I'm not a Patrion supporter.
Can you do we're Scandinavian name
Suggestion: Why some country names include "The". Two head-scratchers are "The" Netherlands and "The" Philippines.
lol , Viet mean Yue in Chinese , they were large ethnic indigenous groups that lived in large part of southern China to Vietnam . the name " bach Viet " in Vietnamese is BaiYue in Chinese , which means " hundreds Yue ethnic groups " . The Yue people in southern China were assimilated and wiped out of existence by mass migration of Han Chinese , however Vietnam was too remote and couldnt sustain a large scaled migration, so they are probably the last of the " BaiYue " . Yue Nan actually came from the name " Nan Yue " , which was an ancient large kingdom in southern China , but the Chinese court couldnt let Vietnam took the name Nan Yue , so they just flipped the name around lol , it become Yue Nan or Vietnam.
They came from China, dumb ass. lol And no, you didn't have tons of war with China, you were in fact under Chinese rule for a thousand years straight, neither did you deport every Chinese during peace time, in fact the Chinese were the majority of the elites. Also, you have a Chinese name, have Chinese genes and practice Chinese culture, deal with it.
@@biggusballuz5405 and yet we have 1979 all well done. Anyway, it true we share the similar DNA, but the cultures are what make us different. We still kept our from 4000 year ago while the Yues in China have turned into Hans. Remember, Qing dynasty who ruled the Han's china are Manchus and don't forget to mention the Yuan Dynasty who are in Mongolian. They ruled whole China but never have Dai Viet/Vietnam on the knee. Even the Hans during Qing dynasty have to cut their hair to show the Manchus theit submission, not us. An Nam is just a name the chinese dynasties called us, just like An Dong (Korea peninsula) nothing more.
P/s this video have many wrong data and speculations
What propaganda material have you studied comrade?
Chinese and Vietnamese have different grammars hence the reverted name
@@biggusballuz5405 But they are not Han. Yue people lived in tribes like American Indians but Han invaded and kind wiped them out or made them assimilated to Han culture except Vietnamese. When France occupied Vietnam, they found 80% of Vietnamese had their teeth blackened which is Yue culture. Their Dong Son culture artifacts were found in South Yangzi River and North Vietnam, very different from Han.
Here's the history of Vietnam how it started by a professor at Minnesota University:
czcams.com/video/T9yg9uv0SXU/video.html
Fun Fact: Between 1881 and 1885, France and Chine were at war with each other. French won, that's how they got French Indochina.
Where is the fun in all that? Well, *France won a war!*
Edit: I was just kidding wars guys. I'm french, I've been taught in school about our war lords and empires :)
Well France won some war and battles, don't let world war 2 misunderstand the French army.
Wherever it is you're from, Im sure France has won a war against.
Yeah you right, France did win many battles in the past
PS I from Malaysia if you are asking
fun fact ? which part of indo china that belong to china/qing dynasty ? vietnam is independence kingdom while laos and cambodia were divided between vietnam and Cambodia.
Up until Napoleon, France was a military powerhouse in Europe, and it continued to do so in the following century. In fact, Japan modernized its army by basing it on the French one.
Interesting how North Vietnam meant North-South Vietnamese people
North south-viet*
Yes, but Viet means Vietnamese
Vietnamese means southern Yue people. Viet refer to the people themselves residing to the south of Yue. Yue is the old southern chinese state/kingdom to the north of present-day Vietnam. The Cantonese like those in Hong Kong for example were once in the old Yue state. Dynastic China referred to Vietnam as that place which is south of the state/kingdom of Yue. Vietnamese monarchs were in the sinosphere of influence but they wanted to make their name in the world known so they caught the attention of China by accepting the name China knows it by, hence North Vietnam means North South-of-Yue/ North Southern-Yue.
xXxSkyViperxXx Yue states
@oneviwatara Not true. Vietnam old name was Dai Viet meaning Great Yue. Then the founder of the Vietnamese dynasty wanted to change its name to Nam Viet (Nan Yue), an old kingdom that included Southern China and Northern Vietnam. He then asked the Chinese emperor for approval but the Chinese emperor switched it to Viet Nam as he didn't want Vietnam to claim the old Kingdom territory. To keep peace with China and in Vietnamese language that adjective is after a noun, the Vietnamese King decided to keep that name as it means Yue in the South. The French used An Nam (Peaceful South, Chinese name for Vietnam when it was under Chinese rule) as they occupied Vietnam and after the French got kicked out, Vietnamese decided to use Vietnam as the official name of the country.
Viet, Vietnamese pronunciation of Yue. Vietnamese always refer ourselves as Viet, not Vietnamese in Vietnamese language. "Vietnamese" is just an English word. Nothing to do with Laos.
Chinese is definitely different with Vietnamese, since they belong to totally different language family and having different grammar system, while Vietnamese borrowed a lot of Chinese Characters as well as their pronunciation, which is similar with the situation in Japanese and Korean. However, It's quite incorrect to say that Chinese and Vietnamese are similar Languages.
曾元濃 hello neighbour ✋🏼
Vietnamese is nothing like Mandarin Chinese, however it could be confused with Guangdong Cantonese or Hainanese for westerners. (And also if you speak that language but you zone out).
North Vietnamese sounds a little bit like the Zhuang of China while South Vietnamese sounds a little bit like the Cantonese due to a large portion of modern-day South Vietnam being dominated by Ming loyalist immigrants.
Yup having alot of borrowed words and sharing a writing system at one point doesn't mean that they are related to mandarin Chinese. In fact even many Chinese dialects have a different grammar and tonal system to mandarin Chinese similar to Vietnamese, Korean and Japanese. It's more the idea that a language is a dialect with an army
@@Bobbylim323 Nobody says Han Chinese and Vietnamese are the same or similar. You didn't watch the video well.
I have always enjoyed watching your explanation on other places' names. However this video contains so many appalling (deliberate?) errors that makes me wonder if you might have just made things up in previous videos?
Clarification
0:43 : Bach Viet is the Vietnamese pronunciation of the Chinese term Baiyue, pronounced Bai Yiu-uh, meaning Hundred Yues. Baiyue is used to call all tribes south of the Yangtze river (now in the middle of mainland china) by ancient Chinese, which was based around Yellow River in North East Asia. That's why Yue is also used to called Cantonese in China, linking to the assimilation of an ancient Yue group into the Chinese populace in ancient time. The modern day Vietnamese are the descendants of Louyue (Lac Viet), southern most Yue tribe in the Hundred Yues the Chinese had contact with.
1:02 : The Nam part does not refer to the Vietnamese in the South of Vietnam. You obviously made this up. The southern half of Vietnam belonged to other kingdoms such as Funan and Champa and only after the 16 century the Vietnamese migrated south and annexed these lands. Viet Nam is just a reverse of Nam Viet, meaning Southerly Viet which was settled in diplomacy with China in the 18 and 19 centuries because of some other issues. Before that Vietnam was officially called named Dai Viet (Great Viet), like Daehan (Great Han - Korea) or Great Britain for a significant period of time.
1:40 : Guess all Asians are the same right? Saying this is like saying English is similar to Latin, you know. We just borrow a lot of words from Chinese because China was a big influence, like English borrowed from Latin and Greek. That part of our language is called Han-Viet, just like Korean has Hanja and Japanese has Kango. Do a video and tell Koreans and Japanese their languages are similar to Chinese, I dare you.

USA's biggest fear just doubled in scariness. Now, they can't even pronounce the name of their biggest fear.
True! *Every single thing in American foreign policy since the 1970s has been to compensate for Vietnam, without exception! American policy makers are nothing but neurotic, Freudian cowards!*
Yes, there had been another three names like Annan (安南，Peaceful South)，Andong(安东，Peaceful East which now in North Korea), Anbei (安北，Peaceful North which now in Mongolia) and Anxi (安西，Peaceful West, which now is Xinjiang Province in China) in Tang Dynasty( 618~907CE ).
This is a very poor explanation. The Baiyue (/paɪ̯²¹⁴y̯œ⁵¹/, 百越), the 100 yue tribes (yue, original character: 戉, meaning axe, which was a symbol of power) lived in Southern China, while the Chinese lived in the Yangtze river basin and were a Tai-Kadai speaking people. The Chinese believed they were superior to everyone and civilised other tribes (considered barbaric) by spreading Chinese customs and Confucianism. Most became sinicised, except for some minorities in China like the Zhuang and others who fled south. There, they intermarried with Vietic-speaking people and possibly Indonesians. Some minorities in Northern Vietnam still speak Tai-Kadai languages. Throughout history, Vietnam represented only the Northern part of modern Vietnam, so your saying that the Chinese named the country like that because people from southern Vietnam were far away is just laziness. And Bach Viet means literally Bai yue (Middle Chinese: /pˠæk̚ ɦʉɐt̚/, in Vietnamese, Viet is pronounced /viət̚/)
I didn't say that. I said that The Tai-Kadai-speaking Baiyue (which were not Chinese intermarried with Vietic-speaking people and possibly Indonesians (Who spoke Cham). That's why there are still Tai-Kadai-speaking people in Northern Vietnam.
Burmese is a Sino-Tibetan language like Chinese. I doubt it had any influence on Vietnamese. The Cham language spoken in Southern Vietnam is a Malayo-Poynesian language. Vietnamese is a Mon-Khmer language, like Muong.
vietnamese is listed under mon khmer.
also, dai viet conquered champa.
rip champa and its people, you'll be missed.
The Cham people still exist.
champa culture is listed under malay.
China also has historical documents showing that NamViet was one of several names submitted by Annam's king Gialong to the Jiaqing Emperor of Qing China to choose in 1802, following a tradition in the Qing tributary system - the name of a fief can be only decided by the Qing Emperor Son of Heaven himself . The emperor then altered the word to VietNam in order to avoid misunderstanding with NamViet that was also a Guangdong based ancient state..From then on whenever the Hue regime pays tribute to Qing court, they used the vassal title Yue-nan in madarin or Viet-nam in local pronunciation.
the Gialong's regime was known locally as Nguyễn Dynasty, himself an "emperor" but known to the French as Annam and Tokin separetely.
Viet nam is seen as just that place south of the yue state. he mustve thought it'd be confusing to be referring to the southern portion of the actual yue state than that state to the south of yue which is vietnam.
@@xXxSkyViperxXx stfu
I remember learning in school that Annam was one of three 'parts' of Vietnam, the others being Tonkin up north and Cochin China down south. Was surprised not to see them mentioned here.
I love your channel and how you seem like such a normal joe but with an awesome propensity for name origin. I love this channel, its quite unique imho
Not exactly Việt means far off like the video says. In Sino-Vietnamese words, Việt means "the axe" because our ancestor used the axe to survive. But it's just a common theory in Vietnamese history :-0
@Prussian Eagle But, many historians accept and I say again Việt doesn't mean far off like the video says :-0
But he said Chinese, not Vietnamese.
Context matters. And many Hán Việt vocabs are inherently multilateral. For example, nam also means orientation
Search the comments for my in-depth analysis.
The "Việt" part does mean far off or beyond. There are other Vietnamese words in which it has that meaning, like "siêu việt" (literally "super beyond", translated as "highly advanced") or "việt vị" (offside, the soccer term describing a player carrying the ball past all but one defender towards the opposing goal, the word itself literally means "beyond (allowed) position").
Tiếng Việt (in Vietnamese):
"Việt" ở đây cũng có nghĩa là vượt lên hay vươn xa, như trong "siêu việt" hay "việt vị". Từ "vượt" cũng có 1 chút nguồn gốc từ "việt".
Side note: the word I mentioned also exist in Chinese, whose "việt" part is written with the same Chinese character for it in "Việt Nam" (Vietnam).
Chinese and Vietnamese languages are unrelated. The Nam part is a Chinese loanword in Vietnamese.
Also, Vietnam was returned to France after the war, and the Vietnamese had to fight for their independence, which was only granted in 1954.
*The "Viet" (越) part is also Chinese, and is simply the vernacular of what is now pronounced "Yue" in modern standard Chinese.*
But Vietnamese does distinguish both formal and non-formal versions of that same word: between "Vượt" and "Việt", giving them semantic differences.
*So while "Việt Nam" (越南) is for the country, "vượt ngục" (越狱) actually means "prison break"!*
@@Suite_annamite the fact that Viet is vietnamese acient word for Viet people, and yes maybe Viet or Yue in Chinese means something but it's just homonym. In china, they translate every word into their language so..
great video!
Annam is our name used in foreign affairs with China, but Dai Viet (Great Viet) is our official name.
Actually, the name Viet Nam existed since the Nguyen dynasty 1804 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Names_of_Vietnam . On the other hand, the name An Nam was not so commonly used in the history of Vietnam, while Dai Viet was. The maps in the video are also misleading. Ancient Vietnam had only the Northern Vietnam, while the Central and the South Vietnam were from other kingdoms with distinctive cultures: Champa and Chenla.
And China which ruled Vietnam from 111BC to 938BC didn't include Xinjiang and Tibet. I'm sorry because I debate so much but this video talks about my Vietnam :-0
Hoàng Kim Việt yeah that was a pretty stupid mistake
@John Wick China really controls Xinjiang and Tibet. It's more exact the Chinese invasion, man! That's why Dalai Lama has to struggle very much for Tibet :-0
John wick china only control tibet, xinjiang and taiwan during qing dynasty. from 111 bc during han dynasty until 938 AD during ming dynasty, tibet, xinjiang and taiwan have their own kingdom and never been control by the chinese middle kingdom.
John Wick Yeah, the invasions are the parts of history. But do you wonder the conquered that many peoples accept the leadership of the conquerors? In the situations of Xinjiang and Tibet, the Ughurs in Xinjiang and the Tibetan in Tibet still don't accept the Chinese communist rulers. :-0
John Wick Just see "China Uncensored" and you know how Uyghurs and Tibetan are "happy" under Chinese leadership. And in addition to that, I don't care China so much. I think you don't care so much politics so you think China has the best policy and the ethnics are happy under Chinese leadership :-0
Vietnamese and Chinese are not similar languages, Vietnamese has just a large amount of Chinese loan words, so it's like in Korean and Japanese that are not related to Chinese at all.
he honestly dosent even do reaserch he says shit and shows no references to where he gets his info
There is a hypothesis for a proposed superfamily of Austroasiatic and Sino-Tibetan, but the evidence for it isn't clear.
Honestly, he should have checked his facts regarding the word "nam" being a Chinese loanword. Even in Italian the names of cardinal directions come from Germanic, so it's not that basic of a concept that it has to be in the native language.
Compared to other languages in the tree to which Vietnamese belongs, it’s way closer to the chinese languages, and yeah it’s by contact not relation but there’s a lot of similarities that Vietnamese’s relatives don’t have
i don't even know, in korean 'nam' also means south, and 'buk' (similar prounciation to 'bắc') means north
they used to have Chữ Nôm
but they romanized their language
Great video
Annam in arabic means I sleep
REAL SHIT
Annam: I sleep
Vietnam: real shit
cuba littery means father's dick in Vietnamese
peace Southern
It's Chinese words for Peaceful South. It was the name China named Vietnam when Vietnam was a province of China under Tang's dynasty.
Finally, my country was in one of your video😊😊 such a short video
Actually Nam Viet was the name that Vietnam wanted, named after the Nam Viet kingdom of emperor Trieu Da (Zhao Tuo).
However the Chinese refused so as to keep the peace with China, Vietnam opted for the Chinese proposed Vietnam instead of Nam Viet.
love from portugal 🇵🇹 keep up
When does your book come out in paperback form? Please do a collaboration with oversimplified. You guys would have great dynamics
The background music is a traditional Chinese music. Do some research and add a Vietnamese music next time you do another Vietnam video.
0:04 Hi, I live in CanTho at 170km south of there (HCMC/Saigon). 🤗🇻🇳
Sino-Vietnamese vocabulary comprises more than 60% of vocabulary used in Vietnamese language. This is why there are many similarities.
You have to keep in mind that there are also similarities of the way we talk to certain Chinese dialects.
In South Vietnamese dialect (the one I speak) our phonology and phonotactics are a bit similar: Both have tones, both have final plosives (so words can end in [-p, -t, -k]), both have a basically CVC syllable structure, The vowel system of both languages is at least a bit similar (although Vietnamese has many vowels and diphthongs that Cantonese doesn't have).
This also goes for North Vietnamese except they sound less Cantonese, sounding more like a smaller dialect that is a cousin of Cantonese located in western Guangdong (Sze Yap dialect), as well as some Hokkien dialect habits (N -> L).
This can be contributed due to the fact that Northern Vietnam is right on the border of Southern China, and that many Chinese Ming loyalists fled to modern-day South Vietnam creating the accent that is similar to Cantonese and Hainanese such as the dropping of certain tones and being more relaxed on tones in South Vietnam, sharing many common tones with Cantonese. With North Vietnamese emphasizing their tones more making them sound more like a farmer in West Guangdong.
Why u put Chinese music in background in every single video about Asian countries??? Plz stop doing this
Well China was a big part of this video even if it was not the best music choice.
John Wick
Ok then why don't we put chinese music in vidoes about western countries as well
John Wick
Oh why??? Because all Asian cultures are similar???
John Wick
Nono no I don't hate the video. I just want him to fix it okay?
here it makes sense because they are actually use it. the main instrument here is the erhu and it isnt a chinese instrument, it was from the northern tribes and changed over the years in east asian countries, including vietnam
Unique channel
Lol 0:09 😂
Amazing
someone: * mentions vietnam *
a 69 yr old: back in 'nam...
Thank Robert
Nam is also south in Korean.
The Japanese compound root form is nan-.
Because they're both the same Chinese loanword. It's like being amazed that language in English, "langue" in French, and "Lingua" in Latin all sound so similar.
in hokkien, its Lam
*Of course, because it's the same word from Chinese.*
In fact, the formal Korean pronunciation for Vietnam is "Weol-nam" (월남).
It also means south in vietnamese too.
Wowww, thank you so much for making this
Đại Việt is also a name of Việt Nam
Vietnamese is much closer with Cantonese rather than Chinese
Cantonese is one of chinese languages.
I thought Indochina meant between China and Indonesia...the more you know
Same here
it does tho he always makes mistakes tbh
@@anthonyburley8548 still it makes sense
but wouldnt it be indachina, there is no o in india nor china but there is in indonesia
@@anthonyburley8548 I don't where you got the impression that Brits came from Louisiana but I guess if that's the lingo you want to use. In all seriousness tho I think it has to do something with like how its the russo-japanese war or the franco-prussian war. It has to with Latin and stuff that I don't get because I wasn't born in in Rome in the year 3 A.D. so yeah
"they decided to be independent of both the Japanese and the French" thats a pretty nice way of putting it...
Đế Minh (帝明) is father of Kinh Dương Vương (涇陽王, 2919 BCE - 2792 BCE), in family of Viêm Đế (炎帝)

Wow, I couldn’t ever imagine Vietnam was once called differently.
present-day vietnam was once controlled by different states. it's borders keep changing. if you play eu4, you will know hehehe
Cám ơn bạn chia sẻ video
"Annam" is a really cool name though, I like it a lot for some reason
I think you meant it was hard fitting Vietnam's flag "in *its* borders" instead of it's.
You neglected to mention that Bach/Bai means 100 in Vietnamese and Chinese. It's relevant to the creation story of the Vietnamese people who are said to be descended from the 100 offspring of a Dragon and a Fairy.
You also neglected to mention the kingdom of Nanyue/Nam Việt which lasted from 204 BCE to 111 BCE. Vietnam was coined by reversing the term in the 16th century and became official after independence.
it is not, baiyue is not one culture. its a lot
Love An Nam, southern peace. But now the capital of Guang Xi province in China, next to Vietnam, is called Nan Ning, means southern peace. Both An and Ning mean something similar: An - safe and peaceful, Ning - peaceful and tranquil. My cousin is named Ning, I am named An, lol.
It's Việt not Viêt
Why did you use Jasmine flower as the bgm in a video about vn?
Actually baiyue stems from Chinese. the southern part of China used to be the homeland of viets (yue people) but were droven out as the han dynasty expanded. And Baiyue means "hundred (unknown) tribes" signifying foreign land and people. But that is Mandarin u would see more resemblance with cantonese as jyut naam due to language borrowing with each other but in essence Viet Nam means the south of yue or Viet which is present day south China. U won't find this information as its usually from historical records of Chinese texts which I doubt u could access, but it is taught in Chinese history if u do go to China and read history texts in Chinese

Hoàng Nguyên Wow didn’t know about that maybe my family are really open minded haha
lol every country in southeast asia has intermarried chinese. every one of us countries here have chinese minorities or big assimilated bloodlines from china.
@Hoàng Nguyên yes very sad. Each chinese people in each country in southeast asia has its own history. Some are very bad, some not so bad. This is why sometimes some people call them the jews of asia. In cambodia, they were also massacred in pol pot's massacres. In my country, I think we half chinese here have an ok enough history. Centuries ago there were also some killings in colonial times due to various events happening but we are seen as just ok at present times.

What was the original name of vietnam
Lost my ability to type back in ‘Nam, man.
This is quite a poor explanation, especially the 'Nam' part. Vietnamese monarchs have referred to the country as 'The Southern Kingdom' or the 'Southern Empire' long before the 'Southern part of Vietnam' was annexed. Not to mention these parts once belong to the Champa kingdom and the Khmer. Not to mention, the name Vietnam was intended as Nam Viet but it has to be change because it conflict with an old Chinese kingdom/region (Nan Yue)
im vietnamese and i didnt even know it had a previous name whskskwksk
In one video about Vietnam War, he comments a joke sentences: VIETnam called VIETnam because of soVIET union. That's wrong...

It was 1954 of Vietnamese independents against the French
“Bach” (bai 百 in Chinese) means hundreds in Chinese. Viet (`yue’ 越 in Chinese) means all tribal peoples live south to Yangtze river in ancient China.
the Bai people are still there in southwestern china
@@xXxSkyViperxXx The two 'Bai's are different. Your 'Bai' is the color white (not caucasians). 'Bach' (Bai) means hundreds.
ah yes. i remember now. i wonder why the Bái were named that close as Bǎi Yuè. maybe it was poetic back then.
The yue (越, original character: 戉 'axe') got their name because axes were a symbol of wealth in their culture.

Video Idea: Why do we have door KEYS, computer KEYS, and the Florida KEYS? I don`t see the similarity.
the Keys in Florida Keys is the american pronunciation of Cays which means small flat-ish sandy islands which there are plenty in the carribean sea. the etymology of Cay then comes from spanish Cayo which means shoal or reef. the american Key in this case was influenced by both Cay from spanish Cayo and English Quay.
Oh, Not many people know that (Including me, a Floridian) So it would make a very intresting video. :D
But, what about the door and computer keys?
@@xenolegend2767 Computer keys from the keyboard were called that because it was kinda the same as musical keyboards like pianos and organs. These keys on instruments were called that because it was understood in the musical sense of tone, note or scale in the 15th century. This probably came from a translation of French clé/clef and/or Latin clavis from the verb claudere to close. Clavis was primarily a key to a door. French clé was also used for the parts of a piano that you touch to produce a sound. In analogy used for similar parts of a typewriter. Here "key" is a kind of metaphor for a part that works like a key to a door (for opening and closing) and produces an effect as making a sound or typing a letter. For keys as in door keys, this has been known as far as old english and even in the 10th century. Dictionaries aren't exactly sure of the definite exact details of the matter though.
Oh this is great, I never knew keys would be so interesting :D
5,000 years ago there were 2 countries of the Vietnamese people.
1/The first Vietnamese country called "Xích Thần" is located in today's northern China.
2/The second Vietnamese country named "Xích Quy" is located in the South of present-day China to present-day northern Vietnam.
3/After the nomads poured in from the west to occupy the land of the two Vietnamese kingdoms, the first Vietnamese kingdom was annexed first, then it was the second Vietnamese kingdom's turn to be captured, A part of the Vietnamese retreated to today's land of modern Vietnam, the rest are still ruled by nomads that are present-day China, The Chinese people today have mostly forgotten their Vietnamese origin.
4 Modern Vietnam today is the country inheriting the civilization of the "Xích Quy" và "Xích Thần" kingdom.
Can you explain Portugal?
Should have called their country Dai Viet. Much better meaning than simply Vietnam in my opinion.
And today, the Vietnamese are mega proud of having defeated the Chinese, the French, the Japanese, the Americans and the Khmer Rouge. I have been to an aquarium of marine wildlife and it was full of messages that Biển Đông (the "eastern sea", Vietnamese name for the South China Sea) really belongs to Vietnam.
@naranhan2010 East seas belong to champa and subsequently belong to Vietnam. During the Sa huynh Culture which date between 1000BC to 200AD thats mainly under Champa jurisdiction. This is way before the Jin dynasty.
I’m sorry but it is very wrong to say Bach Viet were from southern Vietnam. Bach Viet homeland is north Vietnam and Southeast China. Thank you.
vietnam - southern yue. there is northern yue in southern part of china
