Line 811:
Vietnamese tones were classified into two main groups, ''bằng'' (平; 'level tones') and ''trắc'' (仄; 'sharp tones'). Tones such as ''ngang'' belong to the ''bằng'' group, while other tones such as ''ngã'' belong to the ''trắc'' group. Then, these tones were further divided in several other categorizes: ''bình'' (平; 'even'), ''thượng'' (上; 'rising'), ''khứ'' (去; 'departing'), and ''nhập'' (入; 'entering').
''Sắc'' and ''nặng'' are counted twice in the system, once in ''khứ'' (去; 'departing') and again in ''nhập'' (入; 'entering'). The reason for the extra two tones is for tones that end in checked sounds such as /p/, /t/, /c/ and /k/. But phonetically sounding, they are exactly the same.
The tones in the old classification were called ''Âm bình'' 陰平 (''ngang''), ''Dương bình'' 陽平 (''huyền''), ''Âm thượng'' 陰上 (''hỏi''), ''Dương thượng'' 陽上 (''ngã''), ''Âm khứ'' 陰去 (''sắc''; for words that do not end in /p/, /t/, /c/ and /k/), ''Dương khứ'' 陽去 (''nặng''; for words that do not end in /p/, /t/, /c/ and /k/), ''Âm nhập'' 陰入 (''sắc''; for words that do end in /p/, /t/, /c/ and /k/), and ''Dương nhập'' 陽入 (''nặng''; for words that do end in /p/, /t/, /c/ and /k/).
