About the Vietnamese Language
Vietnamese is the national and official language of Vietnam. It is the mother tongue of 86% of Vietnam's population, and of about three million overseas Vietnamese.
Like many languages from Asia the Vietnamese language is a tonal language. Today, it uses a Latin alphabet based on the French alphabet. The Vietnamese alphabet was once based on Chinese characters. It is called Chữ Nôm. Fewer people know Chữ Nôm today.

About the Vietnamese Language
Vietnamese is the national and official language of Vietnam. It is the mother tongue of 86% of Vietnam's population, and of about three million overseas Vietnamese.
Like many languages from Asia the Vietnamese language is a tonal language. Today, it uses a Latin alphabet based on the French alphabet. The Vietnamese alphabet was once based on Chinese characters. It is called Chữ Nôm. Fewer people know Chữ Nôm today.
Vietnamese was identified more than 150 years ago as part of the Mon–Khmer branch of the Austroasiatic language family (a family that also includes Khmer, spoken in Cambodia, as well as various tribal and regional languages, such as the Munda and Khasi languages spoken in eastern India, and others in southern China). Later, Muong was found to be more closely related to Vietnamese than other Mon–Khmer languages, and a Viet–Muong subgrouping was established, also including Thavung, Chut, Cuoi, etc. The term "Vietic" was proposed by Hayes (1992), who proposed to redefine Viet–Muong as referring to a subbranch of Vietic containing only Vietnamese and Muong. The term "Vietic" is used, among others, by Gérard Diffloth, with a slightly different proposal on subclassification, within which the term "Viet–Muong" refers to a lower subgrouping (within an eastern Vietic branch) consisting of Vietnamese dialects, Muong dialects, and Nguồn (of Quảng Bình Province).
Vietnamese is increasingly being taught in schools and institutions outside of Vietnam. In countries with strongly established Vietnamese-speaking communities such as Australia, Canada, France, and the United States, Vietnamese language education largely serves as a cultural role to link descendants of Vietnamese immigrants to their ancestral culture. Meanwhile, in countries near Vietnam such as Cambodia, Laos, South Korea, and Thailand, the increased role of Vietnamese in foreign language education is largely due to the growth and influence of Vietnam's economy.
Vietnamese Document Translation
Vietnamese has three major dialect regions — Northern (Hanoi), Central (Hue), and Southern (Ho Chi Minh City) — that differ significantly in pronunciation and somewhat in vocabulary. While written Vietnamese is largely standardised, documents from different regions may use variant terms for the same administrative concepts. Pre-1975 documents from the former Republic of Vietnam (South Vietnam) follow different formatting conventions and may use older terminology.
Vietnamese Document Types
A birth certificate is a giấy khai sinh, a marriage certificate is a giấy chứng nhận kết hôn, and a death certificate is a giấy chứng tử. Academic transcripts are titled bảng điểm and degree certificates as bằng tốt nghiệp.
Vietnamese is the official language of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam and the sole language of government, law, education, and media. It is spoken by approximately 85 million people in Vietnam and by significant diaspora communities worldwide, with Australia hosting one of the largest Vietnamese-born populations outside of Vietnam. Vietnamese has no official status in international organisations but is offered as a community language in Australian schools and universities.
Industry Requirements
The Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA) registers health professionals across 16 regulated health professions. The Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) regulates medicines and devices, and state health departments — including the WA Department of Health — oversee hospital and health service delivery.
Common documents requiring translation include medical reports and discharge summaries, vaccination records, pharmaceutical product information and consumer medicine information (CMI), overseas health practitioner qualifications for AHPRA registration, clinical trial documentation, patient consent forms, and mental health assessments for visa and immigration purposes.
NAATI-certified translation is mandatory for overseas health qualifications submitted to AHPRA for practitioner registration. Medical reports used in immigration health assessments must also be NAATI-certified, and TGA requires certified translation of foreign-language regulatory submissions for therapeutic goods.
Perth's health sector is centred around five major hospital campuses — Royal Perth, Fiona Stanley, Sir Charles Gairdner, Joondalup, and Midland — alongside growing private hospital networks. The city attracts internationally trained health professionals whose qualification documents require NAATI-certified translation for AHPRA registration, and patient populations in culturally diverse areas like Mirrabooka and Cannington generate demand for translated medical communications.
