Lâm Ấp

The kingdom of Lâm Ấp (Vietnamese pronunciation of Chinese 林邑, Lin Yi) was a kingdom from c. 200 to 750 AD in what is today central Vietnam.[1] and was the precursor to the Champa kingdom in the same territory.

Earlier western scholarship believed Lin Yi in Chinese records to refer to Champa itself, but Champa expansion northwards may have resulted in the Chinese applying the name Lin Yi to the Champa city Trà Kiệu and the Thu Bồn River valley only around 600 AD.[2]
