Summary of the thesis results (summarize the results of the thesis, emphasizing new results, if any) Our thesis describes the phonetics of the Kinh language of Mu Thau village, China, and then compares it with the phonetics of modern Vietnamese. The phonetics of the Kinh people of Mu Thau village, China are as follows: + Tones: According to our statistical results, the Kinh language of Mu Thau village, China, only has 5 tones: level tone, falling tone, rising tone, glottal stop tone, and glottal stop tone. + Initial sound: The initial sound in the syllables of the Kinh language of Mu Thau village is always a consonant. The Kinh language of Mu Thau village has 19 phonemes that are initial consonants in its phonetic system: [ʔ], [k], [ŋ], [ɲ], [t], [b], [d], [m], [n], [s], [h], [v], [r], [l], [t'], [c], [ɣ], [f], [z]. + Medial sound: In the syllable structure of the Kinh language of Mu Thau village in Chinese, there are two medial sounds: the medial sound /-w-/ and the medial sound /ʔ/ (but since the sound /ʔ/ exists after all initial consonants, we do not consider it). Therefore, we believe that the Kinh language of Mu Thau village only has one medial sound /-w-/. + Main vowels: Vowels play the role of main vowels in the syllables of the Kinh language of Mú Thàu village. Therefore, according to statistics, in the syllable phonetic system of Mú Thàu village, there are 15 vowel sounds as main vowels: [ie], [ɯɤ], [uo], [i], [e], [ε], [ɯ], [ɤ], [a], [u], [o], [ɔ:], [ɔ], [ɤˇ], [ă]. + Final vowels: In the syllable phonetic system of the Kinh language of Mú Thàu village, there are 6 consonants as final vowels: [-p], [-t], [-k], [-m], [-n], [-ŋ]. Compared to modern Vietnamese, the phonetics of the Kinh language of Mú Thàu village differs significantly, for example, in the number of vowels, consonants, etc. For example, Vietnamese has 14 vowels: [ie], [ɯɤ], [uo], [i], [e], [ε], [ɯ], [ɤ], [a], [u], [o], [ɔ], [ɤˇ], [ă]; the Kinh language of Mú Thàu village has 15 vowels: [ie], [ɯɤ], [uo], [i], [e], [ε], [ɯ], [ɤ], [a], [u], [o], [ɔ:], [ɔ], [ɤˇ], [ă]. The Kinh language of Mú Thàu village has one more vowel [ɔ:] than Vietnamese. And in the current Vietnamese phonetic system, there are 22 phonemes that form initial consonants: [t'], [t], [ʈ], [c], [k], [ʔ], [b], [d], [m], [n], [ɲ], [ŋ], [f], [s], [ʂ], [χ], [h], [v], [z], [ʐ], [ɣ], [l]; while the Kinh language of Mú Thàu village only has 19 phonemes that form initial consonants: [ʔ], [k], [ŋ], [ɲ], [t], [b], [d], [m], [n], [s], [h], [v], [r], [l], [t'], [c], [ɣ], [f], [z]. Thus, Vietnamese has 3 more phonemes than the Kinh language of Mu Thau village: [ʈ], [ʂ], [χ]. Our thesis will contribute to researchers studying the phonetics of the Kinh people of China and help in understanding the history of the Vietnamese language. 12. Practical applications: Contributes to researchers studying the phonetics of the Kinh people of China and helps in understanding the history of the Vietnamese language. 13. Further research directions: None 14. Published works related to the thesis: None

Summary of the findings of the thesis: (Summarize them with stress on the new findings, if any) Summary Our thesis describes the phonetics of Kinh language of Mu Thau hamlet, China, and then compares with modern Vietnamese phonetics. The phonetics of Kinh people in Mu Thau hamlet, China is as follows: + Tone: According to our statistical result, Kinh language of Mu Thau hamlet, China has 5 tones including tone with a grave or unmarked, vocal cords, acute tone, tilde tone and drop tone. + Initial sound: Initial sound in syllables of Kinh language of Mu Thau hamlet is always consonant. The Kinh language of Mu Thau hamlet has 19 phonemes as initial consonants in the phonetic system: [ ʔ ], [ k ], [ ŋ ], [ ɲ ], [ t ], [ b ] , [ d ] , [ m ] , [ n ] , [ s ] , [ h ] , [ v ] , [ r ] , [ l ], [ t' ], [ c ], [ ɣ ], [ f ], [ z ]. + Buffering sound: In the structure of syllable of Kinh language of Mu Thau hamlet has 2 buffering sounds: /-w-/ and / ʔ / (because sound / ʔ / exists after all initial consonants, we don't refer). Therefore, we think that Kinh language of Mu Thau hamlet has only one buffering sound /-w-/. + Main sound: vowel sound has the role of main sound in the syllable of Kinh language of Mu Thau hamlet. So, according to statistics, the system of phonetic sounds of Mu Thau hamlet has 15 vowel sounds as main sounds, they are: [ ie ], [ ɯɤ ], [ uo ], [ i ], [ e ], [ ε ], [ ɯ ], [ ɤ ], [ a ], [ u ], [ o ], [ ɔ: ], [ ɔ ], [ ɤˇ ], [ ă ]. + Back sound: System of phonetics of Kinh language of Mu Thau hamlet has 6 consonants as back sounds: [ -p ], [ -t ], [ -k ], [ -m ], [ -n ], [ -ŋ ]. Compare with modern Vietnamese, phonetics of Kinh language of Mu Thau hamlet has big differences. For example, quantity of vowels and consonants…Vietnamese has 14 vowels: [ ie ], [ ɯɤ ], [ uo ], [ i ], [ e ], [ ε ], [ ɯ ], [ ɤ ], [ a ], [ u ], [ o ], [ ɔ ], [ ɤˇ ], [ ă ]. Kinh language of Mu Thau hamlet has 15 vowels: [ ie ], [ ɯɤ ], [ uo ], [ i ], [ e ], [ ε ], [ ɯ ], [ ɤ ], [ a ], [ u ], [ o ], [ ɔ: ], [ ɔ ], [ ɤˇ], [ ă ]. Kinh language of Mu Thau hamlet has more than one vowel [ ɔ: ] comparing with Vietnamese. Current system of Vietnamese phonetics includes 22 phonemes as initial consonants: [ t'], [ t ], [ ʈ ], [ c ], [ k ], [ ʔ ], [ b ], [ d ], [ m ], [ n ], [ ɲ ], [ ŋ ], [ f ], [ s ], [ ʂ ], [ χ ], [ h ], [ v ], [ z ], [ ʐ ], [ ɣ ], [ l ]; The Kinh language of Mu Thau hamlet has 19 phonemes as initial consonants: [ ʔ ], [ k ], [ ŋ ], [ ɲ ], [ t ], [ b ] , [ d ] , [ m ] , [ n ] , [ s ] , [ h ] , [ v ] , [ r ] , [ l ], [ t' ], [ c ], [ ɣ ], [ f ], [ z ]. Therefore, Vietnamese language is more than Kinh language of Mu Thau hamlet 3 phonemes: [ ʈ ], [ ʂ ], [ χ ]. Our thesis will contribute for researchers on phonetics of King nation, China, and help explain the history of Vietnamese language. 12. Practical applicability, if any: Our thesis will contribute for researchers on phonetics of King nation, China, and help explain the history of Vietnamese language. 13. Further research directions, if any: None 14. Thesis-related publications: None
