culture and sidered the classical name. Champa as an elegant expression for the land
of the Chams, Judging by language these Chams belonged to the Malay-Polynesian
group and their distribution along the littoral gests that they were invaders from the sea
like the Malay pirates from whom they themselves subsequently suffered. The earliest
inscription in the Cham language dates from the beginning of the ninth century be it is
preceded by a long series of Sanskrit inscriptions the oldest of which, that of Vo-can, is
attributed latest to the third century, and refers to an earlier king. It therefore seems
probable that the Hindu dyna of Champa was founded between 150 and 200 A.D. but
there is no evidence to show whether a Malay race already settled in Champa was
conquered and Hinduized by Indian invaders, or whether the Chams were already
Hinduized when they arrived, possibly from Java.
