Ethnic Map of Vietnam
‘Always found that the Vietnamese people have a fascinating history. The name of their nation is literally “South Yue”, Yue being an Austronesian kingdom founded just south of the Shanghai area that feature regularly in the Spring and Autumn era in Chinese history.
Crazy how far south the Yue identity has travelled, and then travelled even further down Indochina through conquest, acculturation and colonization’

“Vietnam and Cambodia are pretty ethnically homogenous so all the tribal groups must be small in number. Laos is the only one that’s truly diverse. I think it’s only 50% Lao”–VedaBirb19
