The article does not adequately explain how this works. What is the relationship between the tones of the language and the musical notes?Bill (talk) 02:05, 18 April 2021 (UTC)Reply

@Billposer: I added a table and link to a video example from a Vietnamese Catholic parish in San Jose. I don't have a source to establish that it's representative, but it's what I'm used to from visiting Vietnamese Catholic parishes across the U.S. This example is led by a choir, so they hit all the notes, but often the cantillation is led by a lay person who isn't vocally trained. The congregation just follows along because a bit of variation doesn't matter too much. Minh Nguyễn 💬 18:02, 19 September 2021 (UTC)Reply
