sudden puppy play wtf

Wait! Tô Định was also Chinese. Why is his name in Vietnamese but not Ma Yuan's? (according to the Viet wiki Tô Định's Chinese name is 蘇定/Sū Dìng)

"Trưng Trắc could often be found indoors, studying the histories of the Việts and the Hán,"

Việt is already plural like Hán, no?

hey a book based on history I actually know about! I've only read the intro and prologue so far. yay for keeping the diacritics on the Viet names, but why doesn't Ma Yuan's name have diacritics? Hán is used for Han Chinese, but Hán is the Viet translation of it (in pinyin w/ diacritics it would be Hàn), so why is Ma Yuan's name the only one that's totally anglicized? his name in Viet is Mã Viện by the way
