Northern Vietnamese — the standard dialect used in official contexts, national media, and as the basis for most Vietnamese textbooks. Six tones, considered the prestige standard.
Vietnamese: A 6-Tone Language
Vietnamese has six tones — each changes the meaning of a word completely. Mastering tones is the core challenge for English speakers. A tutor who can train your ear and your production is essential.
Mid-level, steady pitch. The neutral tone.
Low and falling, slightly breathy.
High and rising, sharp and clear.
Dips and then rises, like a question shape.
Low and falling with a glottal stop at the end.
Rising with a sudden creak mid-tone. Most challenging for learners.
