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 fantails are known as Chim rẻ quạt 'fan-spoke bird' in Vietnamese. The name is also used for the Fairy-fantail (Stenostiridae), which was previously classed as a rhipidurid.
