This article is about the geographical region in Vietnam. For the former country, see South Vietnam.
The eight regions of Vietnam.
Southern Vietnam (Vietnamese: Nam Bộ) is one of the three geographical regions of Vietnam, the other two being Northern and Central Vietnam. It includes 2 administrative regions, which in turn are divided into 19 First Tier units, of which 17 are provinces and 2 are municipalities. In a sub-context, "Southern Vietnam" may include part of Central Vietnam, the two south central costal provinces Ninh Thuận and Bình Thuận are sometimes seen as part of the Southeast region, the Southern. Known as Nam Bộ today in Vietnamese, it was historically called as Gia Định (1779–1832), Nam Kỳ (1832–1945), Nam Bộ (1945–48), and Nam Phần (1948–75).
The origin of Southern Vietnam (Basse-Cochinchine in French, or Lower Cochinchina) was the Kingdom of Funan (from 1st century CE until 6th century CE) and Khmer Empire (from 8th century CE to 17th century). Southern Vietnam was conquered by the Nguyen force in the 17th and 18th centuries from the Khmer kingdom.[1]
The main ethnicities in Southern Vietnam are Kinh, Khmer and Chinese.[2]
