General names
The following is based on analysis of dictionaries and other sources. Comments and corrections are welcome.
All members of the Cisticolidae are known as Chiền chiện in Vietnamese. This name is also used for Megalurus palustris (Striated grassbird) -- see Megalurinae.
The Hill Prinia (Prinia atrogularis) is known in Chinese and Japanese as the "black-throated prinia"; in Vietnamese as the "white-throated prinia". The reason for this curious contradiction in naming appears to lie in breeding and non-breeding plumage. Careful observation will reveal that the throat of P. atrogularis is white in non-breeding plumage and black in breeding plumage.
