Tiếng ViệtLanguage vs. Script vs. Locale: Key Distinctions
Understanding writing systems and digital text representation requires distinguishing three fundamental concepts:
Language
A spoken or written system of human communication (e.g., Spanish, Serbian, Arabic). A language may be written in one script, multiple scripts, or vary across regions.
Script
A set of graphic characters used to write one or more languages (e.g., Latin, Cyrillic, Arabic). Scripts are defined formally in Unicode and shared across many languages.
Locale / Region
A geographical or regional convention for numbers, dates, and localized vocabulary (e.g., es-ES vs. es-MX). Character sets typically belong to the base language.
