Vietnamese originates from the Austroasiatic family of languages, but is larger than all the other Austroasiatic languages combined. The Chinese language has contributed much to Vietnamese, not only offering it a vocabulary for abstract ideas but also giving it Chinese writing. However, today, Vietnamese writing has adopted the Latin alphabet instead, adding in some diacritics for tonality.
