It is often mistaken that Vietnamese has only 6 tones, namely,

Huyền Falling
Sắc Rising
Hỏi Curling fall
Ngã Curling rise
Nặng Lowly fall
Bằng Flat

This misconception is due to the limited detonation signs the Portuguese has used to denote the spoken Vietnamese language. This lead to a belief that only “tonal signs” that are counted (e é ẻ ẹ ẽ è). In reality, the extra letters that are being used in the Vietnamese alphabet serve no purpose other than to denote the subtones that can be coupled with the maintones (namely, ă â ê ô ơ ư) to produce totally different tones. Among these special letters, there is one letter ă that is undoubtedly tonal (pronounced as á but it give an abrupt ending sound to the syllable-similar to Cantonese ending the word with -p -k -t). The other letters can be considered as different vowel for simplification purpose. So total we have,

a (can) Flat
á (cán) Rising
ả (cản) Curling fall
ạ (cạn) Lowly fall
ã (cãn) Curling rise
à (càn) Falling
ă (căn) Flat with abrupt end
ắ (cắn) Rising with abrupt end
ẳ (cẳn) Curling fall with abrupt end
ặ (cặn) Lowly fall with abrupt end
ẵ (cẵn) Curling rise with abrupt end
ằ (cằn) Falling with abrupt end

Total of minimum 12 tones in the Vietnamese language.
