Barang (Khmer word)

Barang (Khmer: បារាំង [ɓaːraŋ] or [paːraŋ]) is a Khmer term meaning French, a Cambodian rendition of the word France.

As a remnant of the French colonial rule in Cambodia and the resulting significant French minority in Cambodia, in some regions of Cambodia the locals will often simply assume people of European ancestry to be French and refer to them as barang.
