This is a discussion about 米

Etymology and Vietnamese reading

I noticed that this reading is very similar to the Vietnamese reading for the same word ( cơm ). Is this just a coincidence? I know this is a kun'yomi reading so it should be native Japanese... I'm interested if anyone can shed some light on this.
