Information
has gloss	eng: :For the Filipino term, see Barang (Philippine mythology). Barang (បារាំង) is a Khmer word meaning French. It is often mispronounced like ba-réng. The correct pronunciation is bâ-râng, but pâ-râng is also acceptable. It is thought to be corruption of the word France but this may be a misconception. The term is obviously related to the Thai term farang which has a similar meaning. In the Malay language, barang means "thing".
