The nasty old man is...51 < 52 years old (or thereabouts), suffering from gerontophobia as his mind and body slowly packs in. Thegent is 60 + years young, apparently.

I've know a Khasian called Pynroi, they speak a Cambodian-related language but in roman letters. I've never heard that word being used by a Khasian - they mostly seem to speak English, in a rather chutney-flavoured accent.
(They know what a "khazi" is, so I steer clear of that word for 'em

)

The Khasi language is Mon-Khmer, and the word for foreigner used by Khasi is spelt 'phareng', not farang.

Khasi's speak Synteng Khasi and English, (chutney flavoured as most Indians do)writing in Roman script introduced to them by Welsh missionaries during the late 1800s.

The khazi/karzi/khasi story's a myth.

Karzi's a Zulu word for latrine.
