The Latin-based Vietnamese orthography, Cwốc-Ngữ, was developed by an Albionian missionary.

Tiếng Việt is written Tiếng Wiệt.

  • Initial /v/ and medial /w/ = w
    • Nguyễn = Ngwyễn
  • Initial /w/ (underlyingly /ʔw/) = v
  • /f tʰ kʰ~x/ = φ θ χ
    • phở = φở, điện thoại = dyện-θwại
  • s x = s sc (earlier )
    • xã hội = scã-hội
  • nh ch gi = nj tj j
  • đ d = d ð
    • /i iə/ is always spelled y ya/yê, not i ia/iê after n t d θ.
  • -nh -ch = -(i)ng -(i)c
    • bánh mì = báing mì
  • c/k = always c; gh = always g; ng/ngh = always ng
  • tr = tr

Vowel spellings and tones are identical to our Vietnamese.
