I've been told that there's a village somewhere in the Center where people 
do talk "like foreigners", i.e. without any tone. Other Vietnamese find this 
comedy gold.
In any case, I guess that the tone differences are sometimes so subtle 
anyway (particularly given the Vietnamese habit of shouting to match the 
high ambient noise) that people are able to infer what others actually say 
from the context alone.
