vietnam keyboard for Chữ Quốc Ngữ Tiếng Việt (Vietnamese)

Because the Vietnamese alphabet uses a complex system of diacritical marks, Telex requires the user to type in a base letter, followed by one or two characters that represent the diacritical marks:

Non-tonal diacritics

Character Key pressed Sample input Sample output
ă aw trangw trăng
â aa cana cân
đ dd ddaau đâu
ê ee ddeem đêm
ô oo nhoo nhô
iê ii biin biên
uyê uyy chuyyn chuyên
ơ ow mow mơ
ư uw tuw tư
-nh nn ann anh
ương uonn uonn ương
ông oonn oonn ông
âng aann vaann vâng
ăng awnn tawnn tăng
ưng uwnn cuwnn cưng
iêng iinn liinn/lieenn liêng
ơi oii oii ơi
ươi uoii tuoii tươi

To write the pair of keys as two distinct characters, the second character has to be repeated. For example, the Vietnamese word cải xoong must be entered as cari xooong rather than cari xoong (*cải xông).

Tonal diacritics

Tone Keys added to syllable Sample input Sample output
Ngang (level) nothing ngang ngang
Huyền (falling) f huyeenf huyền
Sắc (rising) s sawcs sắc
Hỏi (dipping-rising) r hoir hỏi
Ngã (rising glottalized) x ngax ngã
Nặng (falling glottalized) j nawngj nặng

If more than one tone marking key is pressed, the last one will be used. For example, typing asf will return "à". To write a tone marking key as a normal character, one has to press it twice: her becomes hẻ, while herr becomes her.

Ieioywrtant Notice: This keyboard uses Quy tắc đặt dấu thanh kiểu cũ (òa, òe, úy) by default.
