Cambodian (Khmer)
With a distinct script and grammar, Khmer plays a vital role in connecting communities across Southeast Asia.
Cambodian is an Austroasiatic language alongside Vietnamese. These two are the most widely spoken languages in this language group.
Unlike nearby languages such as Thai or Vietnamese, Cambodian is not a tonal language. The stress on words is always on the last syllable.
