Welcome to the first episode of our sub-series, Ancient Vietnam, where we explore the depths of Vietnam's early history through language, culture, and forgotten stories. In this inaugural conversation, co-host John Phan—linguistic historian at Columbia University and author of Lost Tongues of the Red River—guides us through the intricate relationship between ancient Vietnam's spoken languages, literary traditions, and writing systems.
Together, we'll unpack how linguistic clues offer profound insights into the social dynamics, cultural exchanges, and political landscapes of premodern Vietnam. Join us as we discuss the secrets hidden in scripts and sounds, the lost tongues of ancient communities, and how language can illuminate centuries-old realities.
John guides us into the linguistics of ancient Vietnam—where every word is a clue, every script tells a story, and every conversation uncovers a forgotten world.

Description

Being part of a culture of almost 100 million Vietnamese people living in the world today has its pain and challenges, but it comes with plenty of history, privileges and honors. Join Kenneth Nguyen as he spotlights Vietnamese excellence from around the world. Each episode explores the creative process of individuals shaping the diversity of what it means to be Vietnamese--as a local, born and raised, or as a third culture kid, and even the divisions that separate us politically and culturally. This show can take multiple directions, but what it will do is show Vietnamese from a transpacific lens, in all its facets and complexities.
