The Pear people (; from ; also ''Por, Samré, Samray, Chong'') are an indigenous group living a sparse existence after years of conflict in Cambodia and Thailand. ==Ethnography== Pears call themselves: Samré in Pursat Province; Samray in Battambang; Chong and Chong-Samré in the Trat Province of eastern Thailand; and Chong la and Chong heap, in Chanthaburi Province, Thailand. In the Pear communities in Preah Vihear Province, Pear population was estimated to be 299 households (1,674 persons) in 2002. According to the Pear Samray people of Kranhung, the Kulen hill region's Samray survived because of emigration in the days of the Angkor kingdom. After the 1967 revolt of Samlaut, Pear of Stung Kranhung area moved to Ta Sanh.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Overview of the distribution of Pear (Por) people in Cambodia )〕 While some Sa'och live in Cambodia's coastal area, the Sa’och of the Kampong Som area fled from the Khmer kingdom and went to Trat Province, Thailand. The Sa’och are a mystery as they are racially different (Negroid) from other Pear groups but speak the same dialect. Because of their negroid features, Sa'och were sometimes called ‘people with tails’ in the Khmer language. Martin speculates the Sa’och inhabited the higher areas and the Samré the lower slopes and flatter areas before the arrival of Khmer from Champassak in about the 6th century. Like the Sa'och, the Chong are Pear who live in Thailand's neighboring Trat Province and also Chanthaburi Province. The Pear cultivate upland rice by the swidden method. They follow traditional religions. , the indigenous Chong people in Koh Kong Province, Cambodia are seeking to prevent construction of the Cheay Areng Dam, which would displace local residents. 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「Pear people」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
