Samre Language
Chong (Thai: ภาษาชอง, also spelled ''Chawng, Shong, Xong'') is an endangered language spoken in eastern Thailand and formerly in Cambodia by the Chong. It is a Western Pearic language in the Mon–Khmer language family. Chong is currently the focus of a language revitalization project in Thailand. The Chong language is marked by its unusual four-way contrast in register. Its grammar has not been extensively studied, but it is unrelated to the Thai language which is in the Tai–Kadai language family. Chong had no written form until 2000, when researchers at Mahidol University used a simplified version of standard Thai characters to create a Chong writing system, after which the first teaching materials in the language appeared. Chong is currently considered to be at stage 7 in Joshua Fishman's Graded Intergenerational Disruption Scale (GIDS), where stage 8 is the closest to extinction. Chong is actually two languages, Western Chong, and Central Chong or Samre. ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Samre (woreda)
Saharti Samre () is one of the Districts of Ethiopia, or ''woredas'', in the Tigray Region of Ethiopia. Part of the Debub Misraqawi (Southeastern) Zone, Samre is bordered on the south by the Amhara Region, on the west and north by the Mehakelegnaw (Central) Zone, on the northeast by Enderta, on the east by Hintalo Wajirat, and on the southeast by Debubawi (Southern) Zone. Towns in this woreda include Gijet and Samre. Rivers in this woreda include the Samre, which is of historical importance as it was the traditional boundary between Tigray Province to the north, and Lasta or Wag to the south. Local points of interest in this woreda include the rock-hewn churches of Arbatu Insesa and Iyasus Hinta.

Samre, Ethiopia
Samre is a town in northern Ethiopia. Located in the Debub Misraqawi (south-eastern) Zone of the Tigray Region, this town has a latitude and longitude of with an elevation of 1855 meters above sea level. It is one of two towns in Saharti Samre woreda. History The ''Royal Chronicle'' of Emperor Yohannes I mentions Samre as one of the settlements involved in the 1677 revolt of Fares and Zamaryam. The town is mentioned again in an inquiry conducted by Emperor Iyasu I in 1698, in which he proclaimed that tolls should no longer be collected there. When Charles Beke left Ethiopia, his path took him through Samre (April 1843). He wrote that it was the residence of the governor of "Salowa", and the location of "the salt-market of Tigre, in direct correspondence with Sókota in Lasta". When Augustus B. Wylde passed through Samre in the late 1890s, the town had declined since the death of its resident lord, one Ras Hailu. The late Ras's palace, one of the largest structures Wylde had ...

Samre, Bangkok
Samre ( th, สำเหร่, ), also spelled Sam Re and Samray, is a subdistrict (''khwaeng'') of Thon Buri District, Bangkok, Thailand. It is also the name of a neighbourhood around the area. History The word ''samre'' is a name for the plant ''Malabar melastome'' (also known as ''khlongkhleng''), which probably used to grow in abundance in the area, leading the neighbourhood to be known by the name. It was also the name of a Buddhist temple (''wat'') in the area, Wat Samre, believed to have been built around 1717 and now known as Wat Ratchawarin. Samre used to be a site of public executions during the late seventeenth to early eighteenth centuries, where prisoners were beheaded and their heads set on spikes by the riverside. It was a place locals feared to be heavily haunted, and is described as such in ''Nirat Thalang'', a travel poem written c. 1815–1816 by Muen Phromsomphatson, a student of Sunthorn Phu. In the 1850s, a plot of land in the area was purchased by American ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
