Nom script is an ancient script of the Vietnamese nation which has been used for nearly ten centuries. Until recently, at the end of the French colonial period, Nom script became, like Han script, an ancient alphabet that was not used in the daily life of the Vietnamese. This ancient script was not widely taught so very few people can read it now. Nom script together with Han characters contains an important part of Vietnamese culture and history. In order to support social science researchers to exploit the existing treasure of books written in Nom script, a group of historical and linguistic professors has compiled a book "Nom script - Origin, structure, evolution" with a final chapter on how to read Nom and present some relatively difficult examples.
