That section you quoted doesn't disagree with me. It says that morphemes are monosyllabic, which they are. I'm talking about words, not morphemes. The second paragraph literally says that, "There is a general tendency for words to have one or two syllables". What do you mean "basically - monosyllabic". I know other Vietnamese speakers who also believe the language is monosyllabic. Honestly, speaking the language is a disadvantage for you here. It's like how most Chinese speakers think that other Chinese languages are dialects and not languages. Or how native English speakers will confidently say that "upward" is a preposition. Speaking a language does not give you insight into its linguistics, only a false sense of confidence about it.
