Cambodian language

Cambodian language, also called Khmer, is the official language of Cambodia and belongs to the Austroasiatic language family. It has a unique script derived from ancient Brahmi, characterized by its intricate script and tones. Khmer is an analytic language, meaning it relies on word order and context rather than inflections. It features a rich system of honorifics and layers of formal and informal speech. With around 16 million speakers primarily in Cambodia, Khmer reflects the country's history, culture, and identity, serving as a vital means of communication, tradition, and national unity.
