I need a Vietnamese keyboard. Recommendations? A keyboard that officially works with iPad and displays all the characters and their accent marks for typing.

Where do I find an excellent and reliable Vietnamese keyboard for new iPad? A keyboard that displays all the characters and the accent marks so typing can be easily accomplished. The iPad keyboard selection for Vietnamese really only seems to change the Return key to the Vietnamese language. iPad is sold all over the world....my interest is Viet Nam.....the full keyboard.

iPad, iOS 7.1.2, iPad mini retina

You hold down the vowels to generate a popup menu where you can make the accents and tones.

Any other keyboard is an app which will make you copy/paste for most stuff. Search the app store for Vietnamese and try Keyman.

Thanks.....my Vietnamese expert spouse says this tip will work just fine. I was not aware of the hold down function. Slow typing but accomplishes the objective native on the iPad.

You are correct.....most Apps that I find seem to be based only on a copy/paste method of input.

You solved the problem.
