The Cham people (Cham: Urang Campa Vietnamese: người Chăm or người Chàm Khmer: ជនជាតិចាម) are an ethnic group in Southeast Asia. They are concentrated between the Kampong Cham Province in Cambodia and central Vietnam’s Phan Rang-Thap Cham Phan Thiết Ho Chi Minh City and An Giang areas. Approximately 4000 Chams also live in Thailand; many of whom have moved south to the Pattani Narathiwat Yala and Songkhla Provinces for work.
