caption_attribution_description: English: Plate 35E Carte de l’Inde endeca et audela du Gange from Pierre M. Lapie's Atlas Universel printed in 1829.
context_page_description: The Principality of Hà Tiên or Hà Tiên Protectorate, was a de facto independent principality in the mouth of Mekong Delta, later a vassal principality of the Siamese Rattanakosin Kingdom and Vietnamese Nguyễn dynasty in the 18th and 19th century before being annexed by Vietnam in 1832.
  The principality located on present-day Cambodia–Vietnam border. It was ruled by Chinese refugees.
  The name of the principality was variously spelled as Hexian Zhen, Nangang, Gangkou, Bendi or Kundama in Chinese, Phutthaimat or Banthaimat in Thai, Ponthiamas, Pontheaymas and Pontiano in French, Panthai-mas, Bantaimas, Pontiamas, Pontaimas, Bantay-mas, Banteay M'eas, Pontiamas, Pontiamasse, Po-taimat, Can Cao, Cancar, and infinite other variations. Many of the pronunciations were similar to Banteay Meas, thus confusing Hà Tiên with a nearby town Banteay Meas.
