| '''Vietnam''', both before and after independence, has been divided into administrative areas called '''provinces'''. The Vietnamese term for province is ''tinh''. As opposed to Canadian provinces and U.S. states, they do change name, split, merge, and otherwise may have somewhat unstable designations. These changes are not all connected with colonial and unification events. <ref name=Statoid>{{citation | | Vietnam is divided administratively into '''''tinh'''''s or '''provinces''' Tinhs change over time.<ref name=Statoid>{{citation |

Tonkin included the [[Red River Delta]] while [[Cochin China]] contains the [[Mekong Delta]].

Vietnam is divided administratively into tinhs or provinces Tinhs change over time.[1]
Tinhs are further subdivided into smaller provinces, or districts, called than pho. Smaller divisions are municipalities and wards. The capital of a province (e.g., Can Tho Province) often has the same name as the province but with the suffix "city" (or sometimes "town") added (e.g., Can Tho City). Some of the larger cities (such as Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City/Saigon and Hue) are themselves urban provinces.
Before the colonial period, Vietnam was divided into three provinces, for which both Vietnamese and Chinese names were used: Tonkin in the north; Dai Viet or the Empire of Annam was in the center; and Cochin China in the south. Tonkin included the Red River Delta while Cochin China contains the Mekong Delta.
