General names
The following is based on analysis of dictionaries and other sources. Comments and corrections are welcome.
The larks are known as Sơn ca in Vietnamese (ca = 'sing'). (Somewhat mysteriously, Bui Phung's Vietnamese-English dictionary gives Chim chà chiện as meaning 'Mongolian lark', although this bird has not been recorded in Vietnam.)
