Vietnamese is an Austroasiatic language spoken primarily in Vietnam where it is the official language. Vietnamese is spoken natively by around 85 million people
Vietnamese is an isolating language. Words are not inflected for person, number, gender, case, tense, aspect or mood. Instead different markers are used for that purpose: đã (past tense marker/completion), sẽ (future marker), sắp (imminent future), chưa (not yet), rồi (perfective marker), đang (progressive marker), đều (togetherness).
