Vietnamese
Etymology
nội- (“inside”) + tỉnh (“province”). An apparent "Sino-Vietnamese" construction that is syntactically ill-formed per Classical Chinese, since it implies "inner province" rather than "inside a province", but, however, aligns with the grammatical Vietnamese construction trong tỉnh. A well-formed Sino-Vietnamese construction would be *tỉnh nội. Compare Japanese 省内 (shōnai, tỉnh nội, “inside the ministry in question”).
Pronunciation
Adverb
nội tỉnh
- within the borders of a Vietnamese province
- gọi nội tỉnh ― to make an in-province call
