The national language of Vietnam is Vietnamese (or in Vietnam, Tiếng Việt), a tonal Mon–Khmer language which is spoken by the majority of the country’s citizens. As the national language, Vietnamese is spoken throughout Vietnam by ethnic Vietnamese and by Vietnam's many minorities. The Vietnamese language did not achieve status as an official language until the 20th century, when the country of Vietnam gained independence from French rule.
The Vietnamese language is classified as part of the Viet-Muong subfamily of the Vietic group of the Mon-Khmer family, part of the Austro-Asiatic family of languages. The Austro-Asiatic language family includes approximately 150 languages found primarily throughout Southeast Asia and India, with the Khmer, Mon, and Vietnamese languages being the most significant.
