 There is also a growing number of people speaking Vietnamese as a heritage language in the US, Cambodia, France, Australia and other countries. Vietnamese has been officially recognized as a minority language in the Czech Republic since 2013\footnote{\url{https://ec.europa.eu/migrant-integration/news/czech-republic-vietnamese-and-belarusians-recognized-ethnic-minorities_en}}. In Australia, Vietnamese occupies 82.7\% of the main languages spoken at home by Vietnam-born people there, according to the 2016 Census\footnote{\url{https://www.homeaffairs.gov.au/mca/files/2016-cis-vietnam.PDF}}.
 
-Responding to strong demand, numerous instructional textbooks have been published worldwide, including series by \citet{mai2007a}, \citet{vu2011}, \citet{doan2012,doan2014}, \citet{nguyen2019}, and more recently by \citet{phan2024vibes} and \citet{phung2025}. Additionally, there are descriptive guides to the Vietnamese language including \citet{nguyen1997} by John Benjamins,\footnote{\url{https://benjamins.com/catalog/loall.9}} and \cite{ngo2021} by Routledge.\footnote{\url{https://www.routledge.com/Vietnamese-An-Essential-Grammar/Ngo/p/book/9781138210707}}

 However, there is little communication and connection between learning and teaching practice and linguistic research. Our book, therefore, aims to bridge this gap. We tackle one of the most fundamental tasks that are encountered by any speaker, learner, teacher, and researcher of Vietnamese: \textbf{pronouncing Vietnamese syllables}. In particular, the objective of this book is to represent how a native speaker of Vietnamese of different dialects pronouns each syllable in isolation.
