General

The following is based on analysis of dictionaries and other sources. Comments and corrections welcome. Malaysian names are now being updated. For consistency, Vietnamese bird names (except for ducks and chickens) are preceded by the word Chim meaning 'bird'. Ornithological lists mostly omit this as understood. Hover over Green Lettering Green lettering at this site hides a tool tip with glosses, further explanations, etc. Hover cursor to reveal. to see additional information.

The Burhinidae are found in Vietnam but are not common.

The naming does not suggest great familiarity. For the Burhinus oedicnemus, ornithologists use Burin, taken directly from the scientific name. The name used for Esacus recurvirostris suggests that it is a kind of snipe (Rẽ).
