[edit] Cham Language
Is there no WP article on the Cham Language? I would like to see one. I'm not familiar enough with the language to write an original article, but if nobody else does it first, I can gleen some info from various sources and at least start a stub.--WilliamThweatt 23:13, 24 February 2006 (UTC)
I created the Cham language article last week. Added language infobox and basic info as a stub. Currently working on brief sections describing history, dialects, phonology and grammar. Maybe somebody else will be able to eloborate once I get the rest of it up.--WilliamThweatt 15:46, 8 March 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Cham is not closed to Indonesians or Malay
The Cham language have gone through considerable changes, it is now more simmiliar to Khmer and Vietnamese when heard becuase it is more monosyllabic or sesquillabic than a typical Malay language. Most Cham words changed from being polysyllabic to being clustered Monosyllabic. CanCanDuo 02:49, 3 February 2007 (UTC)
- when classifying languages a distinction is made between similarities that are a result of actual historical links, and similarities that are a result of unrelated languages influencing each other. In the case of Cham, although its phonology and grammar might not be very similar to Malay now due to the influence of nearby Mon-Khmer languages, historical linguistics has shown that the two languages do share a distant common ancestor. That is what is meant by it being said to be a part of the Malayo-Polynesian language family. --Krsont 23:48, 22 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Bani Islam
What is Bani Islam? Saimdusan Talk|Contribs 07:16, 13 February 2008 (UTC)
I have learned about history and culture of Vietnam and Bani Islam is syncretist religion of Sunni Islam, Hinduism, Theravada Buddhist, Aminism and Ancestor Worship! I have seen a mosque of Bani islam and it looks like a Therevada Buddhist pagoda but its inside is empty!
