g học phổ thông high school clb câu lạc bộ club csdl cơ sở dữ liệu database nxb nhà xuất bản publisher ôbace ông bà anh chị em a general form of address and cttđvn các thánh tử đạo việt nam vietnamese martyrs longer examples include chxhcnvn cộng hòa xã hội chủ nghĩa việt nam socialist republic of vietnam and mtdtgpmnvn mặt trận dân tộc giải phóng miền nam việt nam liberation army of south vietnam or the national liberation front of south vietnam long initialisms have become widespread in legal contexts in vietnam for example ttlt vksndtc tandtc 93 it is also common for a writer to coin an ad hoc initialism for repeated use in an article each letter in an initialism corresponds to one morpheme that is one syllable when the first letter of a syllable has a tone mark or other diacritic the diacritic may be omitted from the initialism for example đna or đná for đông nam á southeast asia and lmca or lmcâ for liên minh châu âu european union the letter ư is often replaced by w in initialisms to avoid confusion with u for example ubtwmttqvn or ubtưmttqvn for ủy ban trung ương mặt trận tổ quốc việt nam central committee of the vietnamese fatherland front initialisms are purely a written convenience being pronounced the same way as their expansions as the names of many vietnamese letters are disyllabic it would be less convenient to pronounce an initialism by its individual letters acronyms pronounced as words are rare in vietnamese occurring when an acronym itself is borrowed from another language examples include siđa pronounced s̪i ˀɗaː a respelling of the french acronym sida aids voa pronounced vwaː a literal reading of the english initialism for voice of america and nasa pronounced naː zaː borrowed directly from the english acronym as in chinese many compound words can be shortened to the first syllable when forming a longer word for example the term việt cộng is derived from the first syllables of việt nam vietnam and cộng sản communist this mechanism is limited to sino vietnamese vocabulary unlike with chinese such clipped compounds are considered to be portmanteau words or blend words rather than acronyms or initialisms because the vietnamese alphabet still requires each component word to be written as more than one character general grammatical considerations edit declension edit in languages where nouns are declined various methods are used an example is finnish where a colon is used to separate inflection from the letters an acronym is pronounced as a word nato or nato ˈnɑto natoon ˈnɑtoːn into nato another example is nasalta from nasa an acronym is pronounced as letters eu ˈeːˌʔuː eu hun ˈeːˌʔuːhun into the eu an acronym is interpreted as words eu euroːpan unioni eu iin ˈeu̯roːpɑnˌunioniːn into the eu the process above is similar to the way that hyphens are used for clarity in english when prefixes are added to acronyms thus pre nato policy rather than prenato lenition edit in languages such as scottish gaelic and irish where lenition initial consonant mutation is commonplace acronyms must also be modified in situations where case and context dictate it in the case of scottish gaelic a lower case h is often added after the initial consonant for example bbc scotland in the genitive case would be written as bhbc alba with the acronym pronounced vbc likewise the gaelic acronym for telebhisean television is tbh pronounced tv as in english see also edit acrostic text formed from parts of another text amalgamation names name formed by combining several previously existing names initialized sign handshape
