The Jarai language is the mother tongue of over 300,000 people, most of them living in the highlands of Vietnam and Cambodia. There are also displaced Jarai speakers living in the United States, most of them in North Carolina. Jarai is a member of the Chamic language family, whose member languages are found almost exclusively on the Indochina Peninsula. The name Jarai designates both the Jarai ethnic group and the language.
