campong (kampong)

[Malay kampong, an inclosure.] A native village in the islands of the Malay archipelago. All islands are liable to the linguistic difficulty of their littoral being occupied by a superior seafaring and commercial race, either continuously or in detached campongs , while the interior and unexplored mountains become the refuge of shy and uncivilized indigenes.
