General names
The following is based on analysis of dictionaries and other sources. Comments and corrections are welcome.
The buntings are officially known as Sẻ đồng, i.e., 'field sparrows' or 'field finches', in Vietnamese. This name is also applied to some of the finches (Fringillidae).
Another name for the buntings (according to some dictionaries) is Sẻ đất 'ground sparrow' or 'ground finch'.
In some bilingual dictionaries, the word Chim choi choi is sometimes applied to the buntings (and the whiteyes), although it is officially used for the plovers.
