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.

The Vietnamese name for the muniais Chim Di or Chim Ri.
Like the Chinese, the Vietnamese know Amandava amandava (Estrildinae) as the 'plum flower bird', Chim mai hoa, using a Chinese loan word. While many Vietnamese birds in the wild do not have Chinese names, the fact that a cage bird does suggests a shared aviculture.
The Java Sparrow is not listed by bird lists, either because it does not occur in Vietnam or because it is not regarded as a native bird.
