There are probably many modern changes
to the language,
but I thought there were only two (main ones at least).
North and South Viet.
I speak South Viet.
North Viet usually pronounce g with z.
There aren't only two: North Viet, South Viet and South Central Viet, North central Viet... so on...
I'm living at Southern of VietNam, and of course i speak South Viet, but my sister's husband... He was born at North central... when he is here, he speaks North Viet but sometimes he talks with his parents, he always use North central Viet...
That language make me laugh 'coz he talks so fast and i have no ideas on what he's talking 'bout...
