General names
The following is based on analysis of dictionaries and other sources. Comments and corrections are welcome.
The Vietnamese name for the falcons is Cắt. The falconets (Microhierax) are known simply as Cắt nhỏ or 'small falcons'.
The Vietnamese idiom nhanh như cắt 'quick as a falcon' is equivalent to 'quick as a flash'. The Vietnamese word cắt, pronounced with a short, sharp rise in intonation, gives a greater impression of briskness and speed than English 'falcon'.
