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.

The Vietnamese name for the wood swallows is Chim nhạn rừng 'forest-swallow (bird)'. The name appears to be a calque (loan-translation) on English. The only species in Vietnam is Artamus fuscus.
