In the past, Cham Muslims used the Cham or Khmer language to communicate. A study in 1989 found that most Cham Muslims had ancestors of Khmer descent and Cham from Battambang. Because all of them have a father who is a guest (Cham), but their mother is Khmer. Therefore, they are called "Khmer guests" because inter-ethnic marriage makes them use the Khmer language as the main language. And the elderly at that time could no longer use the Cham language. But when I know the Cham language Even though the Cham people still use Khmer to communicate. But can't read and write Khmer characters.
