Language Facts About Vietnamese
Vietnamese, the official language of Vietnam, is a tonal Austroasiatic language spoken by around 87.1 million people as their native language worldwide. Besides Vietnam, it is the minority language spoken by Vietnamese communities in Laos, Cambodia, France, Australia, Canada, and the United States.
Languages in Vietnam
Historically named Annamese, Vietnamese is an Austroasiatic language that shares a similar root with the Khmer of Cambodia. Although Vietnamese is the Vietnam official language and is spoken by 86% of its population, it is not the only language used within the country. The major minority languages spoken in Vietnam include Tày, Mường, Cham, Khmer, Chinese, Nùng, and H’Mông.
Like other tonal languages, the pronunciation of Vietnamese could alter the word’s meaning as the tone changes. There are six distinct Vietnamese tones each marked with its own pitch contour; they are respectively “ngang” (level), “huyền” (falling), “sắc” (rising), “hỏi” (falling-rising), “ngã” (breaking), and “nặng” (heavy).
Therefore, when translating between English and Vietnamese, it’s crucially important to use a native Vietnamese voice translator who can master different tones and capture even the slightest variation in the intended message’s meaning.
Evolution of the Vietnamese Writing System
Ever wonder why Vietnam, a Southeast-Asian country, adopts the Latin alphabet as its national and official writing script? This phenonmenon is brought by the interinfluence of a range of historical events.
The earliest form of Vietnamese script is called chữ Nôm. It is believed to have first appeared in the 8th century when people adapted chữ Hán (Chinese characters) to create unique Vietnamese characters to transcribe the Vietnamese spoken language based on the approximate pronunciations of Middle Chinese. For a long period of time, chữ Nôm never took the place of chữ Hán to become the primary writing script in Vietnam due to linguistic inefficieencies and social reasons.
However, the modern Vietnamese script is Quốc Ngữ, a writing system created by Portuguese Catholic missionaries in the 17th century for increased accessibility and readability of the Vietnamese language. Quốc Ngữ combines the Latin alphabet for pronunciation and diacritical marks for tonal representation.
Later in the French colonial period, Quốc Ngữ continued to evolve as French people introduced additional diacritical marks to indicate nasal sounds, adding accuracy and richness to Vietnamese pronunciation.
English and Vietnamese Both Use the Latin Alphabet, How Do They Differ?
Despite both English and Vietnamese use the Latin alphabet as the writing script, there are ways in which the two languages differ in the use of the same alphabet.
First, the diacritical marks. Due to its tonal nature, the Vietnamese language adopts a system of tone markers to represent tones and other phonetic features. Different pronunciation of the same words could affect its meaning. While in English, diacritical marks are rarely seen and more likely to be found in loanwords or to separate homonyms.
Second, the additional letters. Unlike English that only uses 26 basic letters in the Latin alphabet, Vietnamese additionally incorporates “đ” (điếc) and “ơ” (ơi) to represent specific sounds in Vietnamese.
Another aspect is the pronunciation of letters. Despite the letters look identical in both languages, they might not be pronounced the same either way. For instance, the Vietnamese letter “d” sounds more like a “z” rather than “d” in English.

A8: When you need to get a general idea of a foreign text/passage and accuracy doesn’t matter to you, translation APPs can be an ideal tool. Some of the best APPs for Vietnamese English translations include Google Translate, Microsoft Translator, and iTranslate. These apps come with amazing features such as text translation, voice translation, and dictionary lookup. However, the accuracy is questionable and could vary with different subject matters. It’s recommended to try different apps and choose the one that best suits your specific translation needs. But think twice before using such APPs to translate important/highly technical documents.
A9: While Google Translate can generate translation from English to Vietnamese instantly and provide a basic understanding, you need to bear in mind that the results may not always be accurate or contextually appropriate. Google Translate, or any machine translation tool in the matter, is ideal for translating simple phrases or getting a general idea. But when aiming for professional and accurate translations, it’s best to avoid using these machine-powered tools and work with experienced human translators who can understand the linguistic and cultural nuances between both languages and provide high-quality translations with a tailored personal touch.
