      Tone Symbols

      The six tones just described are summarized in the following chart to illustrate the differences between them as they are associated with individual words.

      The Vietnamese language has its national standard syntax, morphology and the tone system, although there are some regional variations in pronunciation and accents. The significant differences in pronunciation and accents between the Northern and Southern people (represented by Hanoi and Saigon respectively) are as follows:

      1. There is no difference in the single vowels between Hanoi and Saigon.

      2. There are two vowel clusters /öu/ and /öôu/ which are pronounced /iu/ and /ieâu/ by Hanoi, and /öu/ and /öôu/ by Saigon.

      3. Differences in the pronunciation of consonants:

      4. Saigonese do not differentiate between the two tones /?/ and /~/; these are pronounced alike.
