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 pratincoles is Chim dô nách. Glareola maldivarum is also known by the name Chim óc cau. (The latter is actually a Southern term.)
