The Cham people are an ethnic minority in Cambodia making up about two percent of the total population. Most of the Cham people practice Islam and maintain their cultural identity through their own distinct language and traditions while living in a country that is predominantly Buddhist and Khmer speaking. The Cham have faced multiple challenges throughout history in Cambodia, especially during the period of Khmer Rouge.
