Khmer is to Cambodian as Youn is to Vietnamese. These terms should be included in standardized tests so that the Phnompenh post editor could understand them.

Many western and european scholars agree that the term "Youn" has no derogatory meaning, as noted by a young scholar Therese Guyot: "In my current study of legal Cham archives, (dated from the 18th-19th centuries), the term yuon designates kinh people, with no pejorative meaning at all, as the Annam people (Cham people use "yuon klap" when they talk about Tonkin people).

Hope this helps.
