A group of people with superiority complex.
"A special breed of beings who are patient, hard working, smart, courageous, determined, respectful, and all that forged in their blood"
Go fuck yourselves.

A language that kinda sounds like French with an Asian accent. Their "Banh Mi" is just an Asian Spinoff of the French Baguette and actually tastes pretty good.

Literally, the "barbarians of the South," the "Viet" ("Yue") ("barbarians") of "Nam" ("south"), the Chinese name that the Han Chinese gave to the rice growing people from the Red River ("Song Hong" -- literally, the "Pink River"), and that they now use to describe themselves in the Chinese language rather than the word for their ethnicity, Kinh. Connotes a group of border people south of China who have copied Chinese religions (Buddhism, Taoism, Confucianism), customs, technology, and lust for empire along with that from others (such as the Western alphabet and French and Russian colonial government systems) and whose sense of self comes mainly from their "dirt-water" geography ("dat-nuoc", usually mistranslated in English as "country"). Their survival strategy is to multiply quickly and use technologies that they copy or pirate from others and to spread over neighboring lands. They now rule over some 30 former displaced empires and cultures on their land including the artistic and innovative Khmer and Cham and are the 12th largest population group in the world but have invented little or nothing distinctive on their own. They prosper overseas due to an ability to copy and adapt and to live with low consumption.
Ho Chi Minh, a Vietnamese leader taking a Chinese name who wore Chinese clothes, plagiarized the U.S. Declaration of Independence, and built a political system for a newly independent country that copied the French and Russian colonial military rule.

A significant language that is spoken in Vietnam. To a smaller degree, Vietnamese is communicated in nations, such as Cambodia, Laos, the USA, and France. Primarily, the Vietnamese language was a Yue language, similar to Cantonese which remains a non-Han language all along. Unfortunately, the Han dynasty conquered the Nan Yue Kingdom, nearly destroyed this language, and forced the Yue natives to write in Hanzi characters. About 1000 years that flew by, the Tang dynasty collapsed and the ancestors of the Vietnamese declared independence. While at that time, Vietnamese changed to become the Austroasiatic language to the likes of Khmer, Mon, Wa, or Munda, by reason of the Vietnamese Kingdom and the Thai Kingdom both strengthening to conquer Champa and South Vietnam (a former territory of the Khmer Empire). Furthermore, when the French conquered Vietnam, Vietnamese were no longer using Hanzi characters and used the Latin system for their written language as a substitute and even up to this present timeline.
Failing in Chinese propaganda, Chinese nationalists embarrassed themselves by stating that all Hong Kong protestors, particularly Joshua Wong, are Vietnamese, since they claimed that "Ng" in Cantonese is the same as in Vietnamese, Vietnamese has about 60% Chinese words, and Vietnamese culture is the same as Chinese culture. However, Vietnamese is now an Austroasiatic language. Also, Vietnamese culture is very different from Chinese culture, since Vietnamese people eat Pho as their main cuisine, they always follow matriarchy without almost any Confucious teachings, they play the Dong Son drum, they ride on elephants, they use guerilla warfare tactics in wars, and so on. What is more informational is that the Vietnamese were very experienced and they are recognized as the ones, who defeated and kicked out many foreign invaders, including the Mongol army, French troops, American troops, the Khmer Rouge, and Chinese PLA soldiers. In spite of North Vietnamese being closely related to Cantonese or Zhuang and South Vietnamese being closely related to Khmer or Malay, most Vietnamese people are tough badasses. Never mess with Vietnam!

You could compare them to a limited edition 1 ever made Legendary Pokemon that you have to win 1st place in a wi-fi tournament hosted by Nintendo to even have a CHANCE to catch it and that it has a low catch rate where as you would either need a Master ball, or use false swipe, paralyze it, make it sleep, and throw at least 99 shadow balls after 7 PM to up the catch rate effect of the shadow ball.

I'm German and I have plenty of Viet friends. This is what I find. Vietnamese can be the nicest people you have ever met in your life, and at the same time they can be the most dangerous people you have ever encountered. If you are nice to them, they will treat you like family and offer you with all they've got. If you are a bully to them, they will deal with you in private. I find that Vietnamese don't like reporting matters to the authority, or ask for external supports, they tend to take matters in their own hands. And they are an intelligent breed of people. Pleasant, peaceful, intelligent and have a strong sense of reality. They are bad-ass drinkers as well!
To those who take a liking in insulting other people on the internet, that's cheap! Why don't you do that to their face, as one man to another?

if a Vietnamese find out you talk shit behind their back, they'd stab you behind your back, with knife, literally!
