Samre Language
Chong (, also spelled ''Chawng, Shong, Xong'') is an endangered language spoken in eastern Thailand and formerly in Cambodia by the Chong. It is a Western Pearic language in the Mon–Khmer language family. Chong is currently the focus of a language revitalization project in Thailand. The Chong language is marked by its unusual four-way contrast in register. Its grammar has not been extensively studied, but it is unrelated to the Thai language which is in the Tai–Kadai language family. Chong had no written form until 2000, when researchers at Mahidol University used a simplified version of standard Thai characters to create a Chong writing system, after which the first teaching materials in the language appeared. Chong is currently considered to be at stage 7 in Joshua Fishman's Graded Intergenerational Disruption Scale (GIDS), where stage 8 is the closest to extinction. Chong is actually two languages, Western Chong, and Central Chong or Samre. The Western Chong community ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Samre, Bangkok
Samre (, ), also spelled Sam Re and Samray, is a subdistrict (''khwaeng'') of Thon Buri District, Bangkok, Thailand. It is also the name of a neighbourhood around the area. History The word ''samre'' is a name for the plant '' Malabar melastome'' (also known as ''khlongkhleng''), which probably used to grow in abundance in the area, leading the neighbourhood to be known by the name. It was also the name of a Buddhist temple (''wat'') in the area, Wat Samre, believed to have been built around 1717 and now known as Wat Ratchawarin. Samre used to be a site of public executions during the late seventeenth to early eighteenth centuries, where prisoners were beheaded and their heads set on spikes by the riverside. It was a place locals feared to be heavily haunted, and is described as such in ''Nirat Thalang'', a travel poem written c. 1815–1816 by Muen Phromsomphatson, a student of Sunthorn Phu. In the 1850s, a plot of land in the area was purchased by American missionary Stephen Ma ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
