Alexandre de Rhodes, a French missionary, adapts Roman alphabet to transcribe Vietnamese language which use Chinese characters in 1627 but was not successful until 1920s when there was a widespread adoption of Roman alphabet to replace Chinese characters. It's the same as Korea. It's very difficult not to be influenced by your giant neighbour. Vietnam is very lucky not to be part of China, like inner Mongolia, Manchuria and Tibet.
