 Language School Explorer - Vietnamese_language information.
Vietnamese is generally said to be part of the Viet-Muong grouping of the Mon-Khmer branch of the Austroasiatic language family, a family that also includes Khmer, spoken in Cambodia, as well as various tribal and regional languages, such as the Munda languages, spoken in northeastern India, and others in southern China.
In fact, as the vernacular language of Vietnam gradually grew in prestige toward the beginning of the second millennium, the Vietnamese language was written using Chinese characters (see Chu Nom) adapted to write Vietnamese, in a similar pattern as used in Japan (see kanji), Korea and other countries in the Chinese cultural sphere.
Its concept is different from that in European languages, so its forms of address do not neatly fall into the grammatical person classifications created by European grammarians.

 Austroasiatic languages
* Viet-Muong or Vietic languages (10 languages), includes the Vietnamese language, which has the most speakers of any Austroasiatic language, and other languages of Vietnam and Laos.
It is widely believed that the Austroasiatic languages are the autochthonous languages of Southeast Asia and eastern India, and that the other languages of the region, including the Indo European, Tai-Kadai, and Sino-Tibetan languages, are the result of later movements of people.
The Austroasiatic languages are a large language family of Southeast Asia and India.

 Vietic languages
Muong is extremely close to Vietnamese: they share about 75% of basic vocabulary, and Muong dialects have 5 and 6 tone systems that are underlyingly the same as Vietnamese.
Vietnamese is normally described as a 6 tone language, and on this basis it is often compared typologically to Chinese Min dialects and/or Tai languages.
It is evident that languages such as Thavung and Maleng are intermediate in their development - while they tend to lose final fricatives by merger with -j, -l, -h or -ø, these tend to have the same register/tone outcome as the final stops, so that only a 4-way, rather than 6-way, system has developed.

 Vietnamese Languages
In the present-day Vietnamese language, many words have been proved to contain Mon-Khmer roots and to be phonetically and semantically relevant to the Muong language.
The National language characters were produced by some Western evangelists including Alexandre de Rhodes; they cooperated with some Vietnamese to transcribe the Vietnamese language on the basis of the Latin alphabet for using in evangelism in the 17th century.
Thanks to the National language that boasts the advantages of simple figure, composition, spelling and pronunciation the modern Vietnamese prose was actually formed and then accepted positive influence from the Western cultural language.

Among the Tibeto-Burman languages are Burmese, the official language of Burma, and the dominant language of Tibet.
Southeast Asian Languages as a whole are described and acknowledged by their complex systems of personal pronouns, a high degree of "semantic specialization" in the verb, and the use of classifiers in numerical noun phrases.
The majority of the Tibeto-Burman languages are spoken by small hill-dwelling tribal groups, and a larger number of this language is spoken by small communities in Northern Burma and eastern Tibet.

 VietnamJournal - Vietnam Journal
A complete range of stages of development in Vietic is seen among the languages of the Vietic language group (Alves, forthcoming), from presyllables, to clusters, to single-consonant initials.
Based on core vocabulary, the Vietnamese language is clearly, as are other Vietic languages (a term coined by Hayes in 1984),[3] a Mon-Khmer language (Huffman 1977; Gage 1985).
This study explores the ways in which Chinese[1] has and has not affected the language spoken by the Vietnamese and their ancestors over two thousand years of language contact in what is an example of borrowing rather than shift.

Languages of Southeast Asia, especially Tai, Miao, Yao, Lolo-Burmese, Viet-Muong, and Mon-Khmer are similar to Chinese, having very poorly developed affix systems.
         In contrast, so-called inflectional languages like Latin have highly developed affix systems, where semantically distinctive features are merged into closely united bound forms or into a single bound form.

 Introduction to Sinitic-Vietnamese Studies - dchph
As defined earlier, that sub-class confines only on those languages that were originally evolved from ancient languages of the Yue peoples, which are inherited and spoken by those those ethnic groups still living in the southern part of China, from which Vietnamese has emerged as a special case of total siniticization.
In this paper, however, except for that broad classification of the Austroasiatic linguistic family minus the Vietnamese language and those descents of the languages which "were once spoken much more widely in China”, the same concept is used to refer to a smaller scale of a linguistic sub-family.
That is true in the context that languages are not fossilized and constantly in dynamic change to evolve from primitive to sophisticated stages, especially for those that must have undergone drastic change from toneless consonantal clusters to tonal system to differentiate meanings, in this case, monosyllabic ancient Chinese.

 Re: "Vedic Mathematics" --- Myth and Reality
This family of languages has three branches; Munda, Mon-Khmer, and Viet-Muong.
Munda languages are distant cousins of Vietnamese, Mon dialects in Myanmar, and Kampuchean.
Linguists do not all agree on these three classifications, or which branch Vietnamese belongs to.
