All letters of the ISO Basic Latin Alphabet are except for F, J, W, and Z, which are found only in loanwords. However, the alphabet has been changed heavily to show Vietnamese pronunciation accurately . Some letters and digraphs make very different sounds from what most users of the Latin alphabet expect likes D, R, and GI. One letter has been added, Đ, to show it is a completely different sound from D. Vowel markers are added to distinguish different vowel sounds like A, Â, and Ǎ.

When Vietnam first became a French colony, the Latin Vietnamese alphabet and "chữ nôm" were used alongside each other. Today, however, only the Latin Vietnamese alphabet is officially used in Vietnam, and very few Vietnamese can read "chữ nôm". Letters. Vietnamese characters. Here is the total
