Comments:

Cham is spoken mostly in Kampuchea but there are
several speakers in Vietnam.
Retroflex stops and fricatives occur and are
interpreted by Blood (1967) as clusters of alveolars with
/r/ even though the main allophone of /r/ is an alveolar
flap. However, other obstruents occur in clusters with /r/
and there is a gap for /tr/ etc. Laryngealized /b,d/ vary
with plain voiced [b,d]. Cham has a two-level tone system.
