	Vietnamese
     
         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.
