Cecil Champain Lowis, The Tribes of Burma — The Salons (1910)
“ Whatever their origin may have been the Salons now talk a language that has been placed in the Malay family. They are a timid, backward race, living for the most part in boats and avoiding civilized haunts and comparatively little has as yet been ascertained about them. The main authorities on the Salons are given in the bibliographical note on page 106. The total of Salons at the 1901 Census was 1,325, all enumerated in the Mergui District. ”
