Vietnamese calligraphy
Vietnamese calligraphy (Vietnamese alphabet: Thư pháp Việt Nam, chữ Hán: 書法越南) relates to the calligraphic traditions of Vietnam. It includes calligraphic works using a variety of scripts, including historical chữ Hán (Chinese characters) with chữ Nôm (Vietnamese-derived characters), both of them are collectively known as chữ Hán Nôm, and the Latin-based Vietnamese alphabet, which is known as Chữ quốc ngữ Historically, calligraphers mostly used the chữ Hán Nôm, then due to the adoption of the Latin-based chữ Vietnamese alphabet, modern Vietnamese calligraphy also uses Latin script.
