Khouang is a French corruption of Phuan

I have nothing against this statement, but a reference would be welcome. Pjean~enwiki (talk) 07:45, 25 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I do. It's incorrect; they are quite clearly different words in the local language, and both were used before the French arrived. I've removed the entire paragraph since it didn't explain the proper part of the name, only the prefixes, which wouldn't be useful to leave dangling. --Paul_012 (talk) 23:55, 25 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
