More on context

Known as Chu’ung, Sa-ong or Khamen Padong (‘Padong Khmer’) in Thailand; the Khmer name Sa-och is a kind of skin disease in Khmer, and is greatly resented by the group. The speakers in Thailand were transported as war captives in 1833, but some escaped the Thais and remained behind or later returned. All speakers in Cambodia are bilingual in Khmer, and all in Thailand speak Thai.
