Etymology

From Eastern Mnong dak Lak (Lak Lake). Spellings with or without the diacritical marks (or even with or without a space) have been found to be inconsistently used by some agencies and institutions (e.g. Nhà khách tỉnh Daklak (Dak Lak Guest House)). A spelling without would be more representative of the original pronunciation (as *đác lác), although this spelling here is officially used.
