In Vietnam, there is diversity in the writing systems of different ethnic groups with various characteristics, with 34/53 ethnic minorities in Vietnam each having their own scripts, some ethnic groups use more than one script. Decision promulgated by the Prime Minister on 20th August, 1969 (amended by the Council of Ministers on 22nd February, 1980) “Refer to construct, improve and apply the ethnic minorities writing systems”, has played a big role in this process. |
