Vietnamese was historically written using Chữ Nôm, a logographic script using Chinese characters ( Chữ Hán) to represent Sino-Vietnamese vocabulary and some native Vietnamese words, together with many locally invented characters to represent other words. Its vocabulary has had significant influence from Chinese and some from French. It has head-initial directionality, with subject–verb–object order and modifiers following the words they modify.
