arXiv:2605.24451v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Vietnamese exhibits substantial dialectal phonetic variation across Northern, Central, and Southern regions, where identical lexical items may be realized with markedly different pronunciations. Such variation poses challenges for automatic speech recognition (ASR) and remains difficult to model computationally due to the complex relationship between Vietnamese orthography and phonology. Existing approaches typically address dialect variability at the word level, assuming dialect-invariant mappings between spelling and pronunciation, which limits
