The culture of Vietnam is one of the oldest in the Southeast Asia region. Although Vietnam
lies geographically in Southeast Asia, long periods of Chinese domination and influence has
resulted in the emergence of many East Asian characteristics in Vietnamese culture, and generally
Vietnam is said to be a part of the East Asian cultural sphere, known widely as Chinese cultural
sphere.
Despite considerable foreign influence, Vietnamese people have managed to retain many
distinct customs. While Chinese culture has the largest influence on traditional Vietnamese culture,
there is also a much smaller influence from the Cham and later Western cultures, most notably of
France, Russia and the United States.
In term of prehistory, most Vietnamese historians consider the ancient Dong Son Culture to
be one of the defining aspects of early Vietnamese civilization. Vietnam’s population in 2006 was
84,402,966, with a population density of 253 people per km2. Most people live in or near the
densely populous Red River or Mekong deltas. Due to the nation’s southward expansion
throughout its history, along with the different climate and environment met by the settlers as they
moved further south, slightly different regional cultures began to emerge, most notably between
Northern and Southern Vietnam.

A. is the youngest in Asia B. does not get any Asian characteristics
