Frenchoids probably and they devloped a lingua franca.

They have a star on their flag and each point of the star represents one letter of the word latin

It was actually from Portuguese missionaries.

French administrative influence, I guess.
Honestly, I think it's pretty cool.

Did they used to use Chinese too?

Huh, cool.
Portugal really went around the world. Silence was also about Portuguese jesuits.

yeah most of our revolutionaries leader (e.g. Liang Qichao vs Phan Boi Chau) meeting each other and chat everyday back in 19th-20th century

The Portuguese missionaries invented the script in the early twentieth century. It became popular because ordinary people could easily learn how to read and write since it was so much easier than the Chinese script.

You still wouldn't be able to understand them a thousand years ago because they used specialised Chinese scripts that tailored to pronunciation as well as domestic words that does not exist in Chinese.
