This page outlines the capitalization rules for the '''Vietnamese''' language. It forms part of the [[MusicBrainz]] [[Capitalization Standard|CapitalizationStandard]].

==Bằng tiếng Việt==
==Bằng tiếng Việt==

''Xin bạn viết bài này bằng tiếng Việt.''
''Xin bạn viết bài này bằng tiếng Việt.''

These rules apply to album and track titles:
* Do not capitalize any word except for:
* Do not capitalize any word except for:
** the first letter of the text
** the first letter of the text
** the first letter of a sentence after . ! ? / :
** the first letter of a sentence after . ! ? / :
** the first letter of proper and geographical names (persons, cities, nations, etc.)
** the first letter of proper and geographical names (persons, cities, nations, etc.)
===Punctuation===
If the [[Cover Art|cover]] includes space before punctuation (like in [[Style/Language/French#Punctuation|French]]) this should be preserved. If the punctuation style is inconsistent between releases, do not include space before punctuation in [[Recording|recording]], [[Release Group|release group]] or [[Work|work]] titles.


==Examples==
===Punctuation (no space)===

Like English, Vietnamese does not use any space before punctuation, including but not limited to ? ! ; : . , ...

===Punctuation (with space)===

In Vietnamese there is a ''no-break space'' ("'' ''" U+00A0) — preferably ''narrow no-break space'' ("'' ''" U+202F) — before the following punctuation:
* The ''exclamation mark'' ("''!''" U+0021)
* The ''colon'' ("'':''" U+003A)
* The ''semicolon'' ("'';''" U+003B)
* The ''question mark'' ("''?''" U+003F)

In Musicbrainz, as there are few chances to have word-warp problems with song and album titles, the ''narrow no-break space'' as well as the ''no-break space'' could seem overkill. '''Thus the use of the standard ''space'' character.'''

There is, however, no space before:
* The ''comma'' ("'',''" U+002C)
* The ''dot'' ("''.''" U+002E)
* The ''ellipsis'' ("''…''" U+2026 or 3×''dot'' "''...''" 3×U+002E)

==Examples (no space)==

* Em còn nhớ hay em đã quên?
* Em còn nhớ hay em đã quên?
* Nhớ về Hà Nội
* Nhớ về Hà Nội
* Hà Nội café ơi!
* Hà Nội café ơi!
* Liên khúc: Đêm cuối / Giận hờn
* Liên khúc: Đêm cuối / Giận hờn


==Examples (with space)==

* Em còn nhớ hay em đã quên ?
* Nhớ về Hà Nội
* Hà Nội café ơi !
* Liên khúc : Đêm cuối / Giận hờn
