Talk:Provinces of Vietnam
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I had to enter 1 missing province, also the area of a couple of provinces doesn't correspond with the list given by the Vietnam statistical office here: [1] will try to fix it after I have done the Dutch version. The population doesn't correspond either, but that is logical the person who made these tables used 2000 data. The newest available is 2003, so not a biggie. The area is though imho!

- Thanks for adding the province I forgot. As for the areas, I think you'll find that the statistics on the website you pointed to are out of date. The list comes from 2002, but in 2003, three provinces were split. Hau Giang Province was split off from Can Tho (which became a municipality), Dien Bien was split off from Lai Chau, and Dak Nong was split off from Dak Lak. Are these the differences that you noticed? -- Vardion 21:18, 12 Jun 2005 (UTC)
