What did the Chinese call Vietnam?
Guangdong is called Yuè/粤/越/Viet for short, 粤语 means Cantonese language. 'nam' means south. Since Vietnam used to be a part of 越, Vietnam meant a southern part of 越 at first. Afterwards, Vietnam separated from 越, and rush to south, then Vietnam means south of 越 by now.Dec 21, 2015
