THIS IS A WORK IN PROGRESS.

Hi there i just finish stalking your LJ :P
i came here because of Germancest fics at first, but after that i saw this post & totally deep in interest.
All i can say right now is im really looking forward to it xD.

But, there is something i also want to say: without a doubt, Vietnam is the oldest among the ASEAN, her history started in 2787-2858 BC, in the Southeast Asia's oldest Bronze Age culture; and among the Asian canons, she is only younger than China for about 500 years, so she must be the big sister of ASEAN family.

*sorry for my bad eng TT_TT

...Im still confused +_+
If use this way, all countries in this world are siblings arent they?
Like the US is a very young country but their cultural influences worldwide, so Japan, Korea, China ect they all are US's siblings?
And with it also, could you explain why you put VN as Thai & Cambodia's little sis? '~'

I don't know how better to answer that question. By cultural influence I don't mean strictly influencing a language or practices, but origin and identity. Malaysia and Indonesia would be siblings because they share a common cultural origin. Indonesia and Laos, on the other hand, do not. Thailand and Cambodia do. Japan, Korea and China have a common East Asian cultural identity, which Vietnam fits in with better than South East Asian (which is why, politically speaking, even though she is regionally ASEAN, she is culturally more disposed to China ( ... )

I think the modern culture of a country is the result of interaction of various culture flows ( ... )

Well, about Vietnam, I start with the origin first ( ... )

Oh and also, I need to make a lot of revisions to this post anyway. XD If you want to share ideas, please feel free! I've only really worked out the Indonesian isles (Sumatra, Java, Kalimantan, Sulawesi), Malaysia and Singapore.
