The Culture of Living Reflected in the Individual Elements of the Place Names Shows the Living Habitat in Tuyên Quang
Linguistics has many specializations, including Toponymy, which studies the origin, structure, semantics, variation, distribution and use of Toponym. Toponymy explores different aspects of naming, and simultaneously learns about the language, culture of a region in particular and a nation in general. Tuyen Quang is a province in the northern mountainous region of Vietnam, where many ethnic groups live together, including ethnic minorities, 50% of the population of the area. Learning about landmarks in Tuyen Quang will show the relationship between places and the culture of ethnic minorities. The results of this study show that each relationship between ethnic languages in Vietnam is an interdisciplinary study of cultural content in languages, contributing to the values of interdisciplinary scientific disciplines, for the study of culture through language in Vietnam. Based on linguistic data, psychological characteristics of the ethnic group, and the relationship between language and culture, the article studies several places to find out the origin and original components of several typical landmarks that have significant cultural significance—elements of ethnic minority languages in districts where ethnic minorities live concentratedly in Tuyen Quang province.
