Quốc âm tân tự (國音新字)Quốc âm tân tự is a phonetic script for Vietnamese based on chữ Hán and chữ Nôm characters proposed in the mid-19th century. It is known from two hand-written manuscripts, one of which is thought to date from the reign of Emperor Thiệu Trị [紹治帝] (1841-1847). The name Quốc âm tân tự means 'new national script'. The script was not widely used, perhaps because it was created at a time when there was political and social turmoil in Vietnam.

Within the span of hundred years of human existence,
what a bitter struggle is waged between genius and destiny!
How many harrowing events have occurred while mulberries cover the conquered sea!
Rich in beauty, unlucky in life!
Strange indeed, but little wonder,
since casting hatred upon rosy cheeks is a habit of the Blue Sky.
The first six lines of the poem The Tale of Kiều
