Yes. The Baiyue were the original Austronesian inhabitants of today’s SE China & Vietnam. When the Han invaded Beiyue (northern Yue) became assimilated into Han China as today’s Guangdong and Guangxi. Nanyue (southern Yue), a vassal state, is today’s Vietnam. That’s why Cantonese sounds like Vietnamese in tone and cadence but with Chinese syntax, grammar and vocab.
