The Cham people are descendants of an ancient civilization in Southeast Asia with a contemporary population in Kampong Cham Province, Cambodia, and southeast Vietnam. The Cham diaspora has stretched across the globe with concentrated and active communities in Malaysia, Australia, California, and Washington state.
