Description of the new feature / enhancement

First of all, thank you so much for your hard work on developing OpenUTAU!
Currently, there is no official phonemizer for the Vietnamese language. To make voicebanks sing in Vietnamese, users have to manually tweak or reuse phonemizers from other languages (like Japanese or English) to replicate the pronunciation. This process is extremely difficult, time-consuming, and often results in unnatural-sounding vocals due to the unique phonetic structure and tones of Vietnamese.
Therefore, I would like to request the implementation of a dedicated Vietnamese CVVC/VCCV phonemizer in OpenUTAU.
If official support is integrated, it would be a massive help for the Vietnamese UTAU/OpenUTAU community. It will streamline the tuning process, significantly improve pronunciation accuracy, and encourage more creators from Vietnam to join the community and produce high-quality vocal synth music.
Thank you very much for considering this request!

If someone develops a good system for Vietnamese CVVC/similar we will absolutely support it, but we do not develop recording methods or phonetic structures. They need to exist first.

...That said, luckily these do exist and have been integrated into OpenUtau for quite a long time! 😊

Those phonemizers you mentioned above already exist. Maybe try one of these recording methods?
