What are rules for writing foreign proper names in Vietnamese?

When writing foreign proper nouns in Vietnamese, there are several basic rules to follow. Students can refer to the rules for writing foreign proper nouns as follows:

1. Capitalize the first letter: The first letter of each component forming a proper noun must be capitalized. For example: "John Smith", "Paris".

2. Hyphenation: If the proper noun consists of multiple words, these words should be connected with hyphens. For example: "Lu-i Pa-xtơ" (Louis Pasteur), "Giô-dép" (Joseph).

3. Do not capitalize all letters: Do not write all the letters in a proper noun in uppercase, only capitalize the first letter of each component.

4. Write similarly to Vietnamese names: Write foreign proper nouns in the manner of Vietnamese person or place names, that is, capitalize the initial letter of each component and use hyphens if necessary.

Examples:

- Person names: "Giô-dép", "Lu-i Pa-xtơ".

- Geographic names: "Ác-boa", "Quy-dăng-xơ".
