I'm really interested in learning about the history of Sino-Vietnamese vocabulary but can't seem to find any books/journals over the subject matter. Can anyone give me recommendations? English preferred; Vietnamese is ok, but my Chinese reading skills are subpar. Thanks in advance!

Please understand that I don't feel very informed about the topic but I'm genuinely curious about your opinion on the lasting bad relations between Vietnam and China.

From what I know, it all started with the Vietnamese invasion of Cambodia, which got China involved.

Do you think that this was generally a bad move on China's part (as we probably can all agree the Red Khmer were pretty shit) or did I miss anything?

And if so, what opinion do you have about the relations today? Are you discontent with Vietnam getting closer relations with the west or do you feel like it is China's fault for threatening Vietnamese self-control?

Edit: I just read that Cambodia started the war just so you know I know

Hi everyone, I make videos comparing Sino-xenic pronunciations of Chinese Characters in Japanese, Korean and Vietnamese. I've also included Mandarin, Cantonese and Hokkien due to its similarity as well.

In my most recent video, i've put together a list of words from iconic lines in Netflix's Hellbound. You can see how similar the pronunciations are from the following example:

Jeong Jin su's speech to the crowd

Sin

Korean: 죄 (joei) 罪

Vietnamese: tội 罪

Mandarin: 罪 zuì

Cantonese: 罪 zeoi6

Hokkien: 罪 tsuē

Japanese: 罪 (ザイ) - zai (usually in compound words)

*You can see from the list above that the word for "Sin" are based on the Chinese Characters 罪

I know that they have a history of war and conflict but weren't they allies during the Vietnam war ?

Hồng means red-ish Phát means development, progress, improvement.

Good day to everyone, I make videos sharing similar Sino-xenic pronunciations (Mandarin, Japanese, Korean, Vietnamese and Cantonese). In this video, I will be sharing pronunciations for brain related words. While doing some research for my video, I came across this word that sounds so similar in the 5 languages. The word for imagination: 想象(xiǎngxiàng), tưởng tượng, 想像(そうぞう)(sou zou), 상상(sang sang), 想像 (soeng2 zoeng6). Do note that these words are from the same Chinese character (想像).

Hi everyone, I make videos sharing Sino-xenic pronunciations of Chinese Characters in (Japanese, Korean and Vietnamese) and compare them to their Mandarin and Cantonese pronunciations. In the most recent video, I made a list of magic related words.

While researching for this video I came a cross a few interesting facts:

1. Vietnamese is the only language that still uses ảo thuật (幻術) to refer to magic today. 幻術 is a term used in ancient China which is rarely used today. Most of the sinosphere languages use 魔法 or 魔術 which are derived from the latin word "magi". ảo thuật can also be seen in other magic related words such as Magician: ảo thuật gia (幻術家) and Magic Trick: trò ảo thuật
2. Black Magic is also known as 黒魔法 but there is an interesting term in Cantonese and Mandarin known as 降頭 which also means Black Magic / Curse. This term is mostly used in South-East Asia, Taiwan, Hong Kong and some parts of China.
3. The word for Secret is the same for all 5 languages: Mandarin: 秘密 (mìmì), Japanese: 秘密 (ひみつ - himitsu), Korean: 비밀 (bimil), Cantonese: 祕密 (bei3 mat6) and Vietnamese: bí mật

I'm wondering if anyone here can speak to how the Sino-Vietnamese war was fought, what strategies both sides used, what did the battles look like etc? I've seen people make a compelling case that it was a strategic success for China but I'm more curious about what the war was like at a tactical level.
