The Churu (or Chru; called Chu Ru or người Chu Ru in Vietnamese, ''người'' meaning "people") people live in Lâm Đồng Province, in Vietnam's Central Highlands. The group's population is approximately 15,000.〔(Chru at Ethnologue )〕 They speak Chru, a Malayo-Polynesian language. During the French colonial period, the most influential highland leaders in the Da Lat area were Churu. They were said to be the most advanced among the highlanders because of their historical links to the Cham.〔Gerald Hickey, ''Sons of the Mountains: Ethnohistory of the Vietnamese Central Highlands to 1954'', New Haven: Yale University Press, pp. 313, 314〕 Encouraged by Touneh Han Dang, the Churu adopted some economic innovations from the Cham in the fields of weaving, pottery, and plowing in 1907.〔Gerald Hickey, ''Sons of the Mountains: Ethnohistory of the Vietnamese Central Highlands to 1954'', p. 316〕 ==References== *(Review of a Churu folklore book ) * (Chru Wordlist at the Austronesian Basic Vocabulary Database ) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Churu people」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
