Vietnamese

   <human language> An Asian language that, like other {CJKV}
   languages, requires 16-bit {character encodings} but, unlike
   them, does not use {Han characters}.

   While normal Vietnamese has not used Han characters since the
   18th century, the {standards} {TCVN 5773} and {TCVN 6056}
   contain Han characters and may be used by computers and
   academics.
