Usage notes

 * Among the Southern Vietnamese Sino-Vietnamese readings that are still characteristically Southern and did not penetrate into the modern formal written language (like, , etc.), , phước and , etc.) are probably the few that still have their relevancy, while others, like , , , have mostly lost their ground to their Northern counterpart.
 * Unlike Northern, phước can not be used as an adjective.
