Usage notes

[edit]
  • There are multiple words for villages and it is not always clear what the differences are, although it does seem to be a matter of regional and ethnic preference. Northern villages of the ethnically Vietnamese are either làng or thôn. Highlanders' villages are bản, and Central Highland villages are buôn. Southern villages of the ethnically Vietnamese tend to be ấp, while Khmer villages are sóc.
