Very informative! I have a newer dictionary from Tuttle and in it "CH" comes before "CO", but so far it seems everything is in a similar order to your dictionary. It seems a lot of my study material is from the Hanoi area so when I have practiced saying words with "D" (without the line) with the "z" sound, my fiancee will tell me I'm wrong (she is from the south). now it makes sense.

ha...I get the same thing...
all of my dvd and cd materials have me saying D as a "z" sound. The only Vietnamese that I know ALWAYS correct me and tell me it is a "y" sound.
