Kampung (English spelling)

Japanese: カンプン(英語表記)kampung
Kampung (English spelling)
In Malay and Indonesian, the word originally meant "gathering" and referred to a group of houses in a certain area, i.e. a village. In Malaysia, it was also called kampong. As in the example "What kampung are you from?", it is usually used to mean what we call buraku or mura in Japan. It can also refer to administrative districts in cities or residential areas of specific social groups (for example, Chinatown is called kampung china). It is often used as an insult, and orang kampung can mean both "village person" and "country bumpkin."

Japanese:
マレー語およびインドネシア語で,元来〈集り〉を意味し,一定地域の家屋の集合体,すなわち集落を指す。マレーシアではカンポンkampongとも呼ばれた。“あなたの出身カンプンはどこですか”の例にみるように,通常日本でいう部落あるいはムラの意味で多く使われる。また都会における行政区域や特定社会集団の居住地域(例えば中国人街をカンプン・チナと呼ぶ)を示すこともある。しばしばけなし言葉としても使われ,オラン・カンプンといえば,〈村の人〉と同時に〈田舎者〉をも意味する。
