Indochinese
From the peninsula
Indochinese describes people, languages, cultures, or things from Indochina, the southeastern Asian peninsula comprising Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, Thailand, Myanmar, and the Malay Peninsula.
The term reflects the region's position between India and China, which historically influenced its cultures.
During the mid-20th century, Indochinese appeared frequently in discussions of the French colonial period and subsequent wars.
Many Indochinese refugees resettled in the United States after 1975.
