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.

In Vietnamese, the Tytonidae are known as Cú lợn or 'pig owls', where Cú is a general name for the owls, including the Strigidae. In Southern dialects the barn owls are known as Cú heo, using heo, the Southern word for 'pig'.

Alternatively, these owls are often simply known as Chim lợn or Chim heo, both meaning 'pig bird'.
