in Cambodia and Vietnam. There are two main varieties of Cham – Western
Cham, spoken in Cambodia, and Eastern Cham, spoken in Vietnam. Speakers

Translation
In the beginning God created heaven and earth. The earth was formless and
empty, and darkness covered the deep water. The spirit of God was hovering over
the water. Then God said, “Let there be light!” So there was light. God saw the
light was good. So God separated the light from the darkness. God named the light
“day”, and the darkness he named “night”. There was evening, then morning, the
first day.
(Genesis 1: 1-5)
