 Markedness and the Contrastive Hierarchy in Phonology
Phonology is the study of phonemes and their phonetic realizations, and of how sounds pattern in languages.
Third, we will extend the studies of markedness beyond the phonology, examining the relationship of markedness to both first and second language acquisition, as well as its role in language change.
The proposal addresses issues of broad phonological significance, with consequences for the analysis of individual languages, as well as for general principles of phonology, the interfaces of phonology with syntax and phonetics, and the study of child phonology and learnability.

For example, in Vietnamese 'cat' is 'con meo' and 'pig' is 'con heo,' 'con' being the classifier used with the names of certain animals.
However, no such generic word as 'aunt' exists in Vietnamese, for there are different words for the various people standing in familial relationships according to the following criteria: the side of the family (mother's or father's), birth status in the parents' respective families (older or younger sibling of the parent), or relationships by marriage.

As a result, the official written language was Classical Chinese, known as Chữ-nho (字儒) in Vietnamese, which continued to be used in Vietnam, in parallel with Chữ-nôm (字喃) and Quốc Ngữ, until about 1918.
Sometime during the 10th century AD the Vietnamese adapted the Chinese script to write their own language and called their script 'Chữ-nôm' (southern script).
Famous Vietnamese writers who wrote in the Chữ-nôm script include the poets Nguyen Thuyen and Nguyen Si Co (14th century) and Nguyen Trai (15th century), and HoQuy Ly (14th century) who translated Chinese textbooks into Vietnamese and wrote royal proclamations and ordinances.

Phonology is the study of sound patterns in language.
One aspect of this is determining which sound categories in a language are cognitively distinct, and which are merely contextual variants.
Other domains of phonology include: which sounds are changed into which other sounds under what conditions, and how a language puts consonants and vowels together into syllables.

Vietnamese and similar languages again present a considerable challenge to traditional natural language processing because the notion of 'word', central to the Indo-European tradition upon which NLP is based, is still more or less undefined.
There may well be some sort of phonetic metric by which we can distinguish possible phonological contrasts, and if things pattern phonologically on the basis of phonetic properties in spoken languages, we might do well to ask if they pattern phonologically on the basis of gestural properties in signed languages.

The Mon-Khmer languages are spoken in northeastern India, Burma, Thailand, Laos, Vietnam, Cambodia, Malaysia, two provinces of southern China, and the Nicobar Islands in the Indian Ocean (as well as in emigrant communities in a number of other countries across the world).
As a result of such incursions, few nation states ever developed in the AA domain, the Khmer, Mon, and Vietnamese empires being the exceptions, and most of the AA speakers have lived and still live in small tribal groups.
In short, the two AA subfamilies have been pulled and consequently have evolved in different directions, which makes reconstituting their original phonology and grammar a problem for historical linguists.

Modern Cantonese Phonology by Robert S. Bauer and Paul K. Benedict is the first comprehensive, English-language publication on Cantonese (Yue dialect) phonology since [Yue-] Hashimoto's Phonology of Cantonese (1972), published a quarter of a century ago and long out of print.
Bauer and Benedict (hereafter B&B unless specific reference is to the first author) present a very detailed description of the phonetics and phonology of modern Cantonese, with "modern" to be broadly interpreted to cover the language over a fifty-year span; that is, changes since the early 1940's are chronicled in this book.
