my own hypothesis is that Champa originally did not have keris culture, but the influence of the Javanese in the 14th C (by marriage & commerce) would have left an impact on keris culture there. The continuation of Champa called Langkasuka then Pattani has it's own distinct keris culture (Javanese influence with local flavor

)
