Vietnam Communication

The official language of Vietnam is Vietnamese, which has three mutually intelligible dialects: Northern, Central and Southern. The dialects often vary in tone and pronunciation. Vietnamese vowels have six distinctive tones, five of which are indicated by a diacritic placed over or under the vowel to show different ways of pronunciation, and the unaccented vowel remains unchanged in the voice.

Together with spoken communication, non-verbal communication also plays an indispensable part in Vietnamese society. It sometimes accompanies and reinforces linguistic symbols, sometimes can express more meaning than verbal language.
