I'm not sure where this is coming from (someone's joke perhaps), but
Ao Lac is name of the mythical original kingdom of Vietnam, and has
never been used as any official name of the people or the language;
certainly never after 1054 when it was named DDa.i Vie>.t (Great Viet).
See the DDa.i Vie>.t Su+? Ky' Toa`n Thu+, by Ngo> Si~ Lie>n, for source
material on this subject.
