The Khmer Krom (Khmer: ខ្មែរក្រោម Vietnamese: Khơ Me Crộm) are indigenous Khmer people in southern Vietnam. In the Khmer language Krom means lower or below as it refers to the lower reaches of the Mekong Delta south of Cambodia proper. In the Vietnamese language they are known as Khơ-me Crộm or Khơ-me dưới which literally means Khmer from below a translation of the Khmer term.
