Abstract

Mukdahan Province, Thailand is one of the places with the largest Viet Kieu community in Thailand. Vietnamese language herein is widely used and has become the third foreign language for students in Thailand to choose to study. This is a research project to describe the characteristics of the Vietnamese tone system of the Viet Kieu in Mukdahan, Thailand. The source of information was collected by the method of direct recording from 16 participants with the word list having all the tones in Vietnamese language in 4 types of syllables including open syllables, half-open syllables, half-closed syllables and closed syllables. The research results show that in Vietnamese language of the Viet Kieu in Mukdahan, there are 5 tones and 2 variants of “Non-flat, high raising tone” (thanh sắc) and “Non-flat, low falling tone” (thanh nặng). “Flat, high tone” (thanh ngang) [34] is a flat tone but has a high ending like “Non-flat, high raising tone” (thanh sắc). “Flat, low tone” (thanh huyền) [32] is a smoothly flat tone and ends at a low pitch. “Non-flat, high falling-raising tone” (thanh ngã) [325] is a low, non-flat and high falling-raising tone and ends at a high pitch. “Non-flat, low falling-raising tone” (thanh hỏi) and “Non-flat, low falling tone” (thanh nặng) [31] are the strongly-low tones and then end. “Non-flat, high raising tone” (thanh sắc) [25] is a high tone.
