The Annamite
Definition
A historical or regional articulated form used in the past to designate a member of the population of Annam (central Vietnam) or the river/geographic region correlated with this toponym. In old Romanian documents, travelogues, or 19th-century geographical translations, the term structurally individualized the Indochinese ethnic or territorial element, replaced in the modern language by the standardized 'Vietnamese' or 'Annam region'.
