culture, and generally Vietnam is said to be a part of the East Asian cultural sphere, known
widely as Chinese cultural sphere.
Despite considerable foreign influence, Vietnamese people have managed to
retain many distinct customs. While Chinese culture has the largest influence on
traditional Vietnamese culture, there is also a much smaller influence from the Cham
and later Western cultures, most notably of France, Russia and the United States. In
term of prehistory, most Vietnamese historians consider the ancient Dong Son
Culture to be one of the defining aspects of early Vietnamese civilization.
Vietnam’s population in 2006 was 84.402.966, with a population density of 253
people per km2. Most people live in or near the densely populous Red River or Mekong
deltas. Due to the nation’s southward expansion throughout its history, along with the

slightly different regional cultures began to emerge, most notably between Northern and
Southern Vietnam.
