The sino-vietnamese-readings.csv file is based on the dissertation of Chia-lu Chiang:
江佳路 [Chiang, Chia-lu]. 2011. 越南漢子音的歷史層次研究 [The study on phonological strata of Sino-Vietnamese]. Unpublished dissertation. 國立台灣師範大學 [National Taiwan Normal University].
We do not use Chiang's phonetic representations directly, although our representations should be broadly equivalent. More importantly, we have not verified the accuracy of this list ourselves, so cave usor. For example, there may be alternative pronunciations for some characters that are not in this list, and/or pronunciations that have been "normalized" somewhere along the line. Further research is needed.
This is also not a unique list; other Sino-Vietnamese word lists and dictionaries can easily be found by searching the Web.
