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 Baya Weaver is known in Vietnamese as Rồng rộc, a name that has also been extended to other species in the genus Ploceus. Rồng rộc is a single unit and cannot be analysed into meaningful parts. Here we gloss it as 'weaverbird'.

雀 què in Chinese refers to small passerine birds. While the earliest meaning appears to be 'sparrow', the extension to finches and other small birds occurred very early.
The kun-reading of the character 雀 is suzume, normally understood as meaning 'sparrow'. However, 雀 can have other readings, including the on-reading jaku. When so read, 雀 in Japanese has the same range of meanings as 雀 què in Chinese. While it is mostly used for small passerines, it also preserves an older, broader meaning in words like 孔雀 kujaku 'peacock'.
