Here are some links I've come across in my zealous search to find anything and everything related to Viet Nam. Help me expand my list with absolutely must-have sites regarding politics, entertainment, language, history, and so on. Be sure to add a brief description of what that site has to offer. He's my list:


Vietnamese-English-German-French dictionary
http://www.saigon.com/~vietdict/
Pobably the most extensive Vietnamese dictionary site out there.


Another Vietnamese-English dictionary site:
http://www.ksvn.com/anhviet_new.htm
This one is good for people who are learning the language and are still stuck on the accent marks. For example, you just type in a word without the accents, and it will return a full list of that word with accents.


Little Sai Gon Radio:
http://www.littlesaigonradio.com/new/
Probably the most far-reaching radio program for Vietnamese-Americans. Streaming audio is good for those who do not live near Little Sai Gon, California and want to hear world/local/entertainment/health/etc news in Vietnamese. Parents will probably love this site.


BBC Vietnamese:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/vietnamese/index.shtml
Offers both online news and streaming radio in Vietnamese.


Nguoi Viet News:
http://nguoi-viet.com/
Popular print news source


Radio Hai Ngoai:
http://www.radiohaingoai.com/
Similar to Little Sai Gon Radio.


VNEnterpise:
http://vnenterprise.com/
Extensive site with Vietnamese lyrics, songs, poems, novels, recipes, and Viet-owned business directory.


Sai Gon CD and RangDong:
http://www.saigoncd.com
http://www.rangdong.com/
Both sites sell Viet entertainment, like CDs, movies, etc.


TerraGalleria:
http://www.terragalleria.com/vietnam/vietnam.html
Amazing photos of Viet Nam


Streaming MP3s:
mp3.vietbel.org
Vast collection of MP3s, but you can only stream (i.e. can't d/l them). Server is slow so there will be a lot of bufferring, or pauses; to get around that, set your mp3 player to buffer more. For example, in Windows Media Player, go to Tools -> Options -> Performance -> 10 seconds (or whatever works the best for you), but it will take a long while for a song to begin playing.


Be sure to add your own, but don't go overboard.

www.vnexpress.net
Vietnamese News website. This is where I go to read Vietnamese news in Chu Quoc Ngu (Vietnamese)

www.vneconomy.com.vn
This is where I go to read Vietnamese economic news. Available in both Vietnamese and English.

awesome, thanks for the info
Jenny

www.vietshare.com got la so tu vi!

awesome

Don't forget the most important central access to Viet News & Media and beyond

*drum rolling*

http://www.saigonbao.com

All you need to do is just memorizing just this one. This is your Pandora box to the other world. But don't spend too much time on it

i found a really good site the other day but of course forgot what the hell it was lol

back search it! Jenny.
You can either check the history on your EI or netscape or check the cookie.
Everything you see on the webpage is cached in your computer. Or use the
search function in your Window to search a particular date. Many ways to back track it.

Good luck! I hope you'll find it and share it with everyone.

LOL yeah i know i'm a certified network administrator..i'm just lazy :P
actually i did at work when i had a break, then someone came in and needed info and being the librarian i am i went through a million sites and helped them, then i forgot about it, and the computers wipe everything out and reset every night wiping the history as part of the privacy policy so i'm screwed lol
i'll just have to rememberhow i found it last time

Okie, in this case, we can use psychology to help you with a serious case of amnesia
Try to wear the same clothes you wore yesterday. Did you listen to the music while you do that ? did you eat anything at the time ? You need to replicate the same situation as yesterday to trick your mind into recalling those sites

LOL yeah but its SATURDAY and i look for stuff and do research all day at work! lol :P
I'll just have to wait till i go back to work and i'm getting paid for it LOL.

Hi all,
Here is just the one address you need to know.

It's the
"All you wanted to know about Vietnam...
but were only too unsure to ask..."-site!

http://dir.vietnam.online.fr/

It features, in many languages (Vietnamese, English, French, Spanish, Japanese, Chinese, Korean sometimes...) :

• links to over 20,000 photos of Vietnam
• all links to Vietnamese maps, history, institutions,
• presentations of all cities and all provinces
• arts & culture, archaeology,
• universities, online radios & TV, music,
• forum boards around the world,
• the news, daily's and magazines, of course,
• most free web-based email clients,
• Vietnamese chats, games, ecards,
  and so, so much more... even including direct on-the-page
• from/to Vietnamese multi-lingual dictionary
• Google Search by Example (displaying Unicode)...
• support of 800x600 and 1024x768 screen definitions

and it's a Beautifully Designed Website too!

If you really are interested and/or concerned about Vietnam, this is
where you will like to spend probably months and months going through it!

Ok. Anyone went to see it? Hope it is useful.

You will notice anyway: it's the newest of websites that I designed, and it's entirely dedicated to gathering all information about Vietnam.

You can use Vietnamese accented words when searching with the Google engine. Just type the words here, copy and paste them for the search.

I will update this post, if anything new is added to the site.

EDIT: I'm sorry it has this setback: it works with mainstream browser only! The site uses pixel-precision display, self-adapts for 800x600 or 1024x768 screen definitions, and there are too many different non-Microsoft browsers now, and I can't crosscheck with them all, because it's really too much work.

Your site is great Johan. It doesn't have the weather forecast for Viet cities =P Are you Viet ? It just 'cuz your nickname doesn't sound like Viet at all...

Nero874- Hey, thanks for starting this thread... I think it will become of use to many of us here...

I'd also like to add some more websites to the list:

1) Vietnam- Land of Dragons & Legends (Excellent Website- Beautiful & cultural, a lot of good info, nicely presented)
http://www.limsi.fr/Recherche/CIG/anglais.htm

2) The Vietnam Pictures Archive (many pictures, and a lot of info about the Vietnam culture)
http://www.ibiblio.org/vietnam/canh.html

3) Customs and Culture of Vietnam (A comprehensive book, written through the Western perspective):
http://www.militaryliving.com/vietnam2/index.html

4) Learn about Vietnam
http://www.vietnamembassy-usa.org/learn/

5) Vietnamese Poetry
http://www.loveclub.saigonnet.vn/data/tinh...inh/thotinh.htm
http://ngothelinh.tripod.com/xuandieu.html

6) A great collection of popular Vietnamese Literature; ie. ancient literature, poems, short stories, songs:
http://thanglong.ece.jhu.edu/vhvn.html

7) A site in honor of Colonel Ngo The Linh and all ARVN heroes who sacrificed for freedom and democracy:
http://ngothelinh.tripod.com/

Thanks for your appreciation! Ya, I'm Viet.

There's the weather Gizmo for Saigon HCM. Click on that graphic button, and you'll get the weather forecast for all Vietnam! On other buttons (also on their headers), if your computer has RealPlayer installed, you can listen to the usual online Vietnamese radio broadcasts (VOA, BBC, RFI...)

But you also have all in the [Library] section. That took me months to gather all the links (I intentionnally selected only politically correct sites, and which comply with Unicode; anyway you always will get all other sites thru the Google Search, which I preset to display in full Unicode, if your PC has the Arial Unicode MS font installed - cf. arrow right to the dowload page.

The [Forums] section is also an important one. I'll try to gather more of those Vietnamese discussion boards in all countries.

There are unhidden "secret tricks" everywhere on the page: using either the right or left arrows will scroll you to more info pages about Vietnam. You can search for "danh bạ" (in preset examples) and find more existing web directories in Vietnamese.

Want to download my wallpaper? 800x600 - 1024x768

^ thanks. Maybe you can make it accessible for Opera web browser users too

I think this thread should be a sticky ^_^

This photo comes from a just-in New French Website which is dedicated to the France-Indochina period,
with lots of old photos, from a collection of 72,000 photos taken during the period from 1915 to 1920.

You can click on the photos and illustrations for enlargement. The site is said to be soon further updated
with yet more photos to come.

Vấn đề chuẩn trong một ngôn ngữ
2002-10-18


Ngôn ngữ học là một ngành rất tiến triển trên thế giới ngày hôm nay và ngôn ngữ bao giờ cũng rất gần chúng ta. Loạt bài này đi vào vấn đề “chuẩn” trong tiếng Việt, nhìn từ quan điểm lịch sử...


Ôi, giá như ta có một Hàn-lâm-viện!
Tâm Việt
Nói về tiếng Việt, không ít người tỏ ra bực dọc cho rằng tiếng nước ta và nhất là chữ Quốc-ngữ vẫn còn nhiều cách nói hay viết khác nhau, làm cho việc dạy chữ Quốc-ngữ trở nên phức-tạp, nhiều khi không định được. Trong loạt bài này, Tâm Việt sẽ nêu ra một số trường-hợp liên-quan đến “vấn-đề chuẩn trong một ngôn ngữ,” riêng áp-dụng vào trường-hợp tiếng Việt và chữ viết Việt Nam. Tác-giả rất mong được nghe những ý-kiến khác, chỉ xin được trình bày trong sự ôn tồn và trong một tinh-thần bao dungỞvì chúng ta cần rất nhiều sự nghe ra điều người khác nói trước khi nhảy xổ vào quát tháo hay đánh đấm túi bụi, và mất đi sự cân nhắc...

Chữ Việt đã thuần-hóa ra sao?
Tâm Việt
Trong bài trước, chúng ta đã nghe nói là nhiều người than phiền tiếng Việt hãy còn nhiều điều bất định quá và bàn đến chuyện Nên hay không nên có một Hàn-lâm-viện để quyết-định về những điều còn bất định này. Chúng ta thấy là ngay trong những nước tiên-tiến nhất trên thế-giới cũng chia ra làm hai phe: một số nước có Hàn-lâm-viện Quốc-gia để quyết-định về ngôn ngữ và một số lại không cần mà ngôn ngữ của họ vẫn thống nhất. Hôm nay, Tâm Việt xin thuật lại lịch-sử “thuần-hóa” của chữ Việt trong hơn 300 năm qua...

Tiến-trình chuẩn-hóa kéo dài gần 400 năm
Tâm Việt
Trong hai bài trước, chúng ta đã nêu ra những sự bất nhất còn tồn tại trong tiếng Việt, bàn đến chuyện Nên hay không nên có một Hàn-lâm-viện, rồi duyệt qua tiến-trình “thuần-hóa” của chữ Việt la-tinh-hóa để ngày hôm nay lối chữ viết đó đã thành “chữ Quốc-ngữ.” Hôm nay, đi vào thực-tế, Tâm Việt xin trình bầy quá-trình chuẩn-hóa tiếng Việt như đã xảy ra trong gần 400 năm lịch-sử....

Từ Đắc Lộ đến Ta-be
Tâm Việt
Trong hai bài trước, chúng ta đã nêu ra những sự bất nhất còn tồn tại trong tiếng Việt, bàn đến chuyện Nên hay không nên có một Hàn-lâm-viện, rồi duyệt qua tiến-trình “thuần-hóa” của chữ Việt la-tinh-hóa để ngày hôm nay lối chữ viết đó đã thành “chữ Quốc-ngữ.” Hôm nay, đi vào thực-tế, Tâm Việt xin trình bầy quá-trình chuẩn-hóa tiếng Việt như đã xảy ra trong gần 400 năm lịch-sử....

Từ chuẩn viết đến chuẩn nói
Tâm Việt
Trong mấy ngày qua, chúng ta đã bàn chuyện “thuần-hóa” của mẫu-tự La-mã, một loại chữ đơn sơ hơn và đến sau chữ khối vuông, để ngày nay chúng có chữ viết “Quốc-ngữ” của chúng ta. Chúng ta đã duyệt qua quá-trình chuẩn-hóa tiếng Việt như đã xảy ra trong gần 200 năm từ Đắc Lộ thế-kỷ thứ 17 cho đến Ta-be thế-kỷ thứ 19. Hôm nay, Tâm Việt mời Quý Thính Giả đi vào vấn-đề chuẩn viết và chuẩn nói...

Thế nào là chuẩn?
Tâm Việt
Trong mấy ngày qua, chúng ta đã duyệt lại sự du nhập mẫu-tự la-tinh và quá-trình “thuần-hóa” của nó qua mấy thế-kỷ để hôm nay thành chữ viết “Quốc-ngữ” của chúng ta. Chúng ta đã thấy là tiến-trình chuẩn-hóa tiếng Việt không đơn giản và mất hơn 300 năm mới thành tiếng Việt hiện-đại. Hôm qua, chúng ta cũng đã bàn vấn-đề chuẩn viết và chuẩn nói, hai cái khác nhau và không nhất thiết ăn khớp với nhau. Hôm nay, Tâm Việt mời Quý Thính Giả đi vào vấn-đề định nghĩa “thế nào là chuẩn?”

Vậy theo chuẩn nào?
Tâm Việt
Trong sáu bài mà Đài ACTD đã cho đi về vấn-đề “chuẩn trong một ngôn ngữ,” như áp-dụng vào trong tiếng Việt, chúng ta đã trông ra hết cả cái nhiêu khê của vấn-đề này. Thế không có nghĩa là một ngôn ngữ không có chuẩn hay ngữ-pháp riêng của nó, thế lại càng không có nghĩa là chữ viết không có chuẩn hay chính-tả của nó. Có, nhưng vì đó là một vấn-đề không đơn giản nên một câu trả lời đơn sơ quá đôi khi không đủ sức thuyết phục. Trong bài cuối loạt bài này về vấn-đề “chuẩn” trong ngôn ngữ, Tâm Việt xin gợi ý một số hướng suy nghĩ để may ra ta đến được một sự đồng-thuận ít nhất được đa-số chấp nhận...

Northern Dialect has changed rapidly in 2 centuries. Quoc ngu was based on the Northern accent, however, it doesn't reflect a lot of nowaday Hanoi dialect, like the of "r" and "y" consonants changed to "z".

Tiếu Ngạo Giang Hồ

Hiệp Khách Hành

Why does this Viet site have the Great Wall?

I can't read the website as it's in Viet.

Hey! You should know better!

First hint: This is a library...

2nd hint: You know him?

Why should I know better? I am not Vietnamese... nor can I read it

I am not interested in playing your little game, why don't you just tell me?

Calm down dude!
The website is dedicated to the fans of wuxia (long series) novels.
That is why there is a reference to China regarding the wall in some novels.
The guy in the picture if I am not mistaken is
Jin Yung (best known wuxia novels are Tian Long Ba Bu, Legend of Condor Hero, etc)

Ah, thanks.

That makes so much sense now

http://www.vnn.vn/
That's the site I use

For those of you who cannot read Vietnamese nor Chinese but interested in
wuxia novels (this site contain some version in English...)

On his way to Hanoi [...], when asked if he thought the United States owed the people of Vietnam an apology, 25 years after the end of the war, Clinton said, simply, "No, I don't."

[...] To apologize for crimes against the people of Vietnam would be to admit that the stories we tell ourselves about our conduct in the world -- then and now -- are a lie.

Saturation bombing of civilian areas, counterterrorism programs and political assassination, routine killings of civilians and 11.2 million gallons of Agent Orange to destroy crops and ground cover -- all were part of the U.S. terror war in Vietnam, as well as Laos and Cambodia.
