Proudly Presenting Our New Muong Translation Services



You might think that everyone in Vietnam speaks Vietnamese as their native language, and 85% of the time, you’d be right. However, like the rest of Southeast Asia, Vietnam is home to a vast array of minority languages, collectively spoken by around 15% of the population. Of course, most minority language speakers in Vietnam also speak Vietnamese, but their native languages play an important role in their local communities. One such minority language in Vietnam is Muong.


With an estimated 1.1 million native speakers as of 1999, Muong ranks as Vietnam’s third-biggest native language, after Vietnamese and Tày. Most ethnic Muong people speak the language, which means it’s vigorous and not in immediate danger, but the ubiquity and prestige of Vietnamese, which is required in most formal or official contexts, puts the indigenous language at risk. Not many translation services offer translation services for Muong, but we at TranslationServices.com are different: we want to make a difference for Muong and its community. That’s why we’re proud to have put together our brand-new Muong translation team.

Discovering Muong, one of Vietnam’s most important minority languages

Native Muong speakers are concentrated in northern Vietnam, predominantly the provinces of Hòa Bình, Thanh Hóa, Vĩnh Phúc, Yên Bái, Sơn La, and Ninh Bình. In fact, Muong speakers account for some 64.28% of the population of Hòa Bình, which houses four large Muong population centers: Mường Vang (Lạc Sơn District), Mường Bi (Tân Lạc District), Mường Thàng (Cao Phong District), and Mường Động (Kim Bôi District). Muong comprises various dialects, but it’s important to note that, in fact, Muong is not a single language but rather a cluster of languages united by a shared linguistic ancestor and spoken by a single ethnic group.


The Muong dialects, or languages, aren’t always closely related, so speakers of one can’t necessarily understand speakers of another. Naturally, this complicates translation efforts, but we’ve recruited a team that covers as many Muong varieties as possible. Muong is also related to Vietnamese, sharing a highly similar grammatical structure, but the vocabulary can differ quite starkly, and they’re certainly not close enough for speakers to understand one another. Muong is written in a highly modified version of the Latin alphabet, just like Vietnamese, but it differs from the Vietnamese version of the script. Translating to and from Muong and English presents a range of challenges, but our robust, native-speaking team is always up for them.
