tôn giáo

== Vietnamese == === Alternative forms === tông giáo, tôn-giáo === Etymology === Non-Sino-Vietnamese reading of Chinese 宗教 (SV: tông giáo), from Japanese 宗教 (shūkyō). Intentionally misread to avoid Emperor Thiệu Trị's taboo name: Nguyễn Phúc Miên Tông. The etymological form tông giáo seems to be currently in use primarily as an unintentional misspelling alongside tôn giáo, sometimes in the same piece of writing. Compare Tôn Thất and Tôn Nữ. === Pronunciation === (Hà Nội) IPA(key): [ton˧˧ zaːw˧˦] (Huế) IPA(key): [toŋ˧˧ jaːw˨˩˦] (Saigon) IPA(key): [toŋ˧˧ jaːw˦˥] === Noun === tôn giáo • (尊教) organized religion misconstruction of tông giáo ==== See also ==== đạo tín ngưỡng === References ===
