Northern Central part : initial feeling
Abstract
With historic, cultural and ethnic data and evidence, the author has proved that the Northern Central part of Vietnam after the 10th century had become a homeland for many ethnic groups with various languages such as Viet-Muong, Malayo-Polynesie, Mon-Khmer. They had lived in different parts of Royal Champa where Cham people were not the ethnic majority. Through historic changes, the population on the mountains and hills had integrated into the Vietnamese community in the process of Southern marching to become the delta people of the existing coastal delta. Those who lived on the mountains and hills now called Ta oi, Bru-Van Kieu and Co tu.
