The Vietnamese alphabet, known as the Vietnamese script or Quốc Ngữ, is based on the Latin alphabet with additional diacritical marks, which are called “dấu” in Vietnamese, to represent the unique sounds and tones of the Vietnamese language, which are crucial for determining the meaning of words in Vietnamese. There are six different tones in Vietnamese: five tones and a neutral tone. Here are the letters with accents or diacritics used in the Vietnamese alphabet:

These diacritics are crucial in Vietnamese to distinguish between different words that may otherwise be homographs (words with the same spelling but different meanings). The tone changes can alter the meaning significantly, so accurate pronunciation is essential for clear communication in Vietnamese.
