General
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. Hover over Green Lettering Green lettering at this site hides a tool tip with glosses, further explanations, etc. Hover cursor to reveal. to see additional information.
Apart from the domesticated pigeon (Rock Dove), a variety of wild pigeons and doves is found in Vietnam and the language is relatively rich in names for them.
Chim bồ câu, Chim bồ cu, or Chim câu is the normal term for the domesticated pigeon or Rock Dove, and by extension is now the general word for 'pigeon'. In the lists below the name and its variants are glossed as 'pigeon1'. Despite a similarity to Chinese 鵓鴿 'pigeon' and 鵓鴣 'wood-pigeon', it's not clear whether bồ câu is etymologically related to either of these. 鵓鴿 would normally be read in Vietnamese as bột cáp (Cantonese ), 鵓鴣 as bột cô (Cantonese ), but routes of borrowing other than character readings should not be ruled out.
Chim gầm ghì, Chim gầm ghị, or Chim cu gầm ghì is another, probably older, Vietnamese word for the pigeons. It is now used mainly for the Cuckoo Doves and Imperial Pigeons, and also officially for the domesticated pigeon. This name is glossed 'pigeon2' in the lists below.
Chim cu, which is likely onomatopoeic, is a term officially used for Turtle Doves and Emerald Doves. (In some Central dialects this is reduplicated as Chim cu cu, which in standard usage refers to cuckoos.) Cu may be used in combination with other names (see below). In the lists it is glossed as 'dove'.
Chim chàng vịt is given in some dictionaries as a term for 'pigeon' or 'dove'.
Turtle Doves have a number of individual names:
The East Asian Turtle Dove (Streptopelia orientalis) is known as the Chim sen 'lotus-bird' (from its soft pinkish colour), Chim cu sen 'lotus dove bird', Chim cu đất 'ground dove bird' , or Chim cu cu đất 'ground dove bird' (dialect).
The Spotted-necked Dove (Streptopelia chinensis) is known as the Chim gáy 'calling bird', Chim cu gáy 'calling dove bird', Chim cu gấm 'spotted dove bird', or Chim cu cườm 'beaded dove bird'.
The Red Turtle Dove (Streptopelia tranquebarica) is known as the Chim ngói 'tile bird' (from the terracotta colour of tiles), Chim cu ngói 'tile dove bird', or Chim cu lửa 'fire dove bird' (dialect). Chim bồ câu lửa 'fire pigeon bird' is possibly also applied to this species.
The carrier pigeon is known in Vietnamese as: Bồ câu đưa thư 'deliver message pigeon'.
Ornithological naming
Naturalists assign names to columbid genera as follows:
| Vietnamese name | Genera |
| Bồ câu | Pale-capped Pigeon (Columba punicea) Nicobar Pigeon (Caloenas) |
| Gầm ghì | Rock Dove (Columba livia) Cuckoo Doves (Macropygia) Imperial Pigeons (Ducula) |
| Cu | Turtle Doves (Streptopelia) Emerald Dove (Chalcophaps) |
| Cu xanh 'blue/green cu' |
Green Pigeons (Treron) |
Despite the familiar use of Chim bồ câu to refer to the domesticated pigeon (or Rock Dove), and the fact that Bồ câu thus gives its name to the family, Columba livia (Rock Dove) itself is given the name Gầm ghì in ornithological lists (although not in the more recent (34)).
