 Talk:National Front for the Liberation of Vietnam - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The title should be "National Front for the Liberation of Southern Vietnam" as translated word by word from "Mặt Trận Giải Phóng Miền Nam Việt Nam".
Now is it National Front for the Liberation of South Vietnam as in the text, or National Front for the Liberation of Vietnam, as in the title?
NLF is an incorrect translation from Vietnamese (it's advocating the liberation of "Southern Vietnam", not "Vietnam"), and is not as well-known as Viet Cong in English.

 National Front for the Liberation of Vietnam - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Viet Cong, also known as the National Front for the Liberation of Southern Vietnam (Vietnamese Mặt Trận Dân Tộc Giải Phóng Miền Nam), (VC), or the National Liberation Front (NLF), was the primary insurgent (partisan) organization fighting the US-allied Republic of Vietnam during the Vietnam War.
The VC and its guerrilla army never used the name "Viet Cong" to refer to themselves, and always asserted that they were a national front of all anti-RVN forces, Communist or not.
In 1969, the NLF formed the Republic of South Vietnam which operated until the end of the Vietnam War and took power briefly after the fall of Saigon in 1975 and before the reunification of the country under the leadership of the Communist Party of Vietnam as the Socialist Republic of Vietnam in 1976.
