Today we’re exploring the language of one of the greatest empires that ever ruled - Khmer language, the official language of Cambodia and once the language of the mighty Khmer empire. Those were the guys who built Angkor Wat for example - the biggest temple complex in the world. With such a history, Khmer language doesn't lack interesting features!

I worked in Cambodia for seven years and eventually got good enough to give technical lectures in Khmer. The two hardest things about learning it are (1) the lack of a standardized system of transliteration, because even though you need to learn the writing system eventually, it's so hard that learning basic vocabulary and simple conversation directly in the Khmer script is super slow if you do not have a transliteration. There are multiple systems, none of which are great. and (2) all the subtly different vowel sounds - they take lots of practice. A French text for learning Khmer had great advice about getting all those vowels right - "la persistence vaut mieux que l'acharnement - very true, if you stick with it, the vowels will come eventually. The best books for learning, I think, are a series of books on the spoken and written language by Franklin Huffman, starting with "Modern Spoken Cambodian" and "Cambodian System of Writing and Beginning Reader" and continuing to more advanced anthologies of interesting Khmer texts with vocabulary and notes.
Do you know the Assimil book "Le Khmer" , Collection SANS PEINE?
I learned some Thai a few years ago, a language which also has a complicated spelling system, and I found it was easier to just learn the spellings as they are without worrying why they happen to be that way (for example sometimes a vowel is written with its own character, other times just implied. There are many silent letters. And there are multiple ways of writing the same sounds. It's like when you learn French there are accents on some words eg «contrôle» but not on others... Still very complicated though!
@@andreahoehmann1939 I don't know it, but I would have loved to learn Khmer "sans peine."
If you can pronunciation of Khmer language you'll easy to pronounce to other languages.....
I am not so sure. However, the north Vietnamese Ha Noi speakers they are have the same accents as the Khmer. I am not sure if they have been migrate from the Khmer kingdom in ancient time. It is just difficult to understand with their accents when they speaking Vietnamese language.
For additional information as a native speaker:
Khmer doesn't have plural. You just need to tell the number of things or add the words like group, those, these...to the nouns or repeat the syllables. Example: Khmeng= kid/child ; Khmeng Khmeng = children.... So when you say Chkae Thom Thom, it means "big/large dogs (as in plural)" more than "large dog (as in emphasize the large) ".
Most vocabularies in Thai and Lao are derived from Khmer and Khmerized Sanskrit, and Khmerized Pali. That's how Thai and Lao got their Sanskrit and Pali influence words. That's the reason Khmer speakers can understand at least a bit of Thai and Lao without learning them.
Yes, it's very similar. Whether it's Thai, Lao and Khmer, for example, if you can speak Lao. You will be able to speak Thai as well. because they have the same Derived Personally, I'm a true Thai, born in the central region until one day I visited Laos..I could understand 90% of the Lao language spoken by native people
Pali is from Nepal , Sanskrit is from india, so we partially understand khame

As a Cambodian, thank u so much for making this video. The explanation is very well-organised and most of the information in this vid are pretty much accurate to what I’d studied throughout my academic years. ❤️❤️
This is so convenient. About a week ago, I was doing research on the khmer writing system because I've always thought it looked interesting. To my surprise, you've uploaded this video. Keep up the great work!
Isn't it strange? How the world turns.....
The world turns for you. And it turns for everybody else too just a little bit differently. ✌
Thank you for your interested
@Neicha Reich that's fascinating!
The World 🌎 turns in killings and Sufferings and Wars and invasion To Be Exact.....👎🇻🇳🇷🇺🇨🇳👎
My daughter learned Kymer when she served in the peace corps in Siem Reap Cambodia. It sure was different hearing her interact with the locals when i visited her in 2018.
Thank you for interested in Cambodia....if not involved in Political..... everything is okay 👍
Khmer* , not Kymer*
@@Xiaoyue26 my apologies, she learned it not i.
@@sojolly I know that, I just corrected your typo in your comment above.
@@Xiaoyue26 เสียบราฐ ไม่ใช่เสียมเรียบ😊😊
I'm South African and Khmer is the first language in my polyglot journey...never been overseas though, hopefully next year I'll relocate
Curious, how is it going so far...and why khmer
Su Sdei and Namaste everyone, It is interesting that Khmer script shares many of the inherent order and sounds of the alphabet with the traditional Indian alphabets( we have currently about 22 official "native" ones which are born in India, leaving Latin and Perso-Arabic script, more scripts are to be made official in the coming years like Modi script for Marathi, Tigalari script for Tulu, Khudabadi script for Sindhi).
So, it would be very comparatively easy for us Indians to learn it since it's a simple abugida, rather than even Thai, which has tonal markings compounding the script.
The Khmer language sounds very full of consonant clusters and the script looks like royal Naga maidens, twisting in serpentine gaits. We Indians would love to see more historical dramas relating to our brotherly nations of Burma, Thailand, Laos, Indo-Malay and Khmer cultures. We all have beautiful histories, unique cultures and intangible heritage that we must cherish and be proud of.
May peace prevail in all realms.
That's a very interesting video, there are a few corrections over the words that I noticed:
For 09:01 it should be ឆ្កែធំ , you may unintentionally added an ា in between.
For: 09:13 It should be: ឆ្កែធំៗ
We don't write the same adjective twice, but we use this "ៗ" instead. "ៗ" (but for an exception: there is any word etc. that we write នានា)
09:59, for the verb eat:
First one: ស៊ី
Second: ញុំា
These correction doesn't have any bad intention, we're learning something new so mistaken are there to be made.
Thank again for the interesting video about our language.
I'm so proud as a Cambodian speaking in Khmer ❤thank you for your research and sharing 🎉
Why?
ในฐานะที่ผมเป็นคนไทย ผมภูมิใจมากที่คนเขมรครึ่งประเทศ เรียนรู้ที่จะพูดภาษาไทย เรียนรู้เกี่ยวกับไทยทุกๆอย่าง

As a Thai I'm also proud that half khmer population learn Thai and become servant in Thailand
@@grapesofwrath1984 why you asking like that?

I really appreciate of you for supporting and displaying my Khmer literature to the world.🙏🇰🇭
YES YES YES I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS FOR A LONG TIIIIME
Love from Ukraine to Cambodia 💜💜
Thanks
I am Cambodian... :D
@@ranyachau I have never been in Cambodia, but I have watched lots of programs and videos about it, I fell in love and I want to visit it and maybe stay there for many years ☸️☯️
@@user-fu7uh5zd7q Hmmm Yes....
@@ranyachau same
Just a minor correction when you wrote the word large dog: it is written ឆ្កែធំ and not ឆ្កែាធំ both the symbols ែ (making roughly the sound ae) and ា (making the sound a) are dependent vowels and those two dependent vowels cannot be linked to the same consonant (in this case ឆ) at the same time. It’s a minor mistake and really doesn’t take away from the great video. As a Khmer person who likes to do a lot of research on the Khmer language I’m really happy with the video, awesome work.
Thank you for making this video! I had requested a video on the Khmer language. It doesn’t get enough attention. Recently, I have been very interested in Cambodian Rock music, especially music by Sinn Sisamouth, Ros Serey Sothea, and Pen Ran. They were singers in the 1960s and early 1970s. If anyone is unfamiliar with their music, I would definitely recommend listening to it. There is a documentary about Cambodian Rock music called Don’t Think I’ve Forgotten. There is also a graphic novel about Ros Serey Sothea’s life that is being made currently. It’s called The Golden Voice. Again, thank you for the video, and I definitely recommend checking out some Cambodian Rock music.
Yes, very good classic oldies. I am Khmer American and reside in California. I will soon hope to create the first Khmer audio speaker brand, just didn't realize starting a speaker company is harder than it appears.
@@bongchan531 Cool! I hope your company is successful.
Good advice. I would hardly describe Sinn Sisamouth as rock music though, much as I love his voice and songs.
@@vickocambodia8349 I guess you’re right. Maybe just a bit of his music was rock, but I agree he had an amazing voice and so many good songs.
Congratulations on 100K subscribers! Well-deserved. 🙂
Khmer is one of my favorite languages. I dont know why but I love it. The writing system is so unique and the sound of the language. I really wanna learn it.
As a Cambodian born and speaking Khmer as my first language i'd like to say a big thank you and very much appreciated to you for choosing Khmer language" ភាសាខ្ខ្មែរ" to teach or study to learn , I'm so proud that ❤
Thank you so much 🙏❤
As a Cambodian, I can say you made one of the most detailed explanation in Khmer language. I really am impressed and do acknowledge how detailed and accurate this is. Keep up the good work! 👍👍
You uploaded this video right when I was becoming fangirl-level obsessed with that Khmer rapper, Vannda. This is great!
Thank you for making this video about Khmer language. ❤ love from Cambodia 🇰🇭

Thank you for your researching 💕💕💕💕💕 អគុណសម្រាប់ការចែករំលែក🙏🙏
Língua cambojana, idioma cambojano 🇰🇭❤
I knew basically nothing about this language before watching this video. I find it interesting that a language can get so influenced by ones it's not related to, and it's good to learn that the root cause of a writing system seeming cumbersome is typically because the pronunciation heavily evolved and the spelling wasn't changed to accommodate. It's also surprising to hear an East/Southeast Asian language without tones that isn't Korean or Japanese.
Thanks you so much for the video sharing about Cambodia 🇰🇭 ❤
This is eyes opening for me!
Thanks for your explanation .
I really appreciate your video about my country Cambodia and it ancient Angkor Wat🙏🏼
Wow….thank you for your VDO taking about Khmer language ❤
Interesting language! Nice video Julie.
Personally, after spending time in Cambodia, I think Khmer script has probably the most beautiful script in written form of any language in wide usage.. and perhaps paradoxically or fittingly, the spoken language sounds... well... bless it's heart.
Khmer is one of the old ancients language in mainland southeast asia.
Thank you JuLingo, you make channel Khmer language teaching and talking. we will see you again in Cambodia

Khamer Language is Very Difficult.
Are you working in Cambodia? Yes even though I am Cambodian I think the Khmer language is difficult too.
Wow amazing 😻 some Cambodian can’t know like you, but you’re really nice person to research of Khmer language ❤❤❤
Thanks you so much from Cambodia ❤❤
Thank you for this video . 🇰🇭🇰🇭
Knowing just little bit of Khmer script has been helpful for when my ear doesn't pick up the vowel sounds and also for memorizing the words.
O have all but forgotten how to read even the simplest text but I had two difficulties when learning to read. 1) If I didn't know the words already, I had difficulty determining which letters were silent and where the next word would start in order to look it up in dictionary. (which Is itself more complicated than dictionaries of Romance languages 2. I had difficulties of guessing the pronunciations of certain words of Bali/Sanskrit origin which lacked the special markings.
I am not sure if all vowel sounds in speech stay true to their written forms. I did ask once and the native speaker said that the sound is the same despite them technically being different, depending on words surrounding it.
Spoken and written, formal words can be quite different, so it takes more time to learn as a beginner. For example, the formal word 'pram-pi' in the market can be pronounced as pram-pal, m-pal, or just pal.
ពិតជាល្អខ្លាំងណាស់ អ្នកបានបង្រៀនភាសាខ្មែរ
Khmer language is vary cool🇰🇭❤
Love this video
I am currently living in Cambodia but before I was living in Riga and I discovered you are Latvian 🙂Of course I speak good russian and before also good latvian but I was there many years ago so I lost a lot of this last one. Thank you for this channel. I will watch all the videos because I love to study every language.
I'm Cambodian. Great tutorial. I love that 💞
Thank you so much for this wonderful video. As a native khmer speaker, I'm always in awe whenever I see foreigners speak this language. It is very hard for us to follow all the grammar rules due to a big array of irregularities. We have numerous ways of saying one thing. Like mentioned in the video, there are different ways to say "eat" and those words shown in the video is just a very small number lol.
That's good, thanks you
ខ្ញុំពិតជាអរគុណអ្នកខ្លាំងណាស់ចំពោះការពន្យល់យ៉ាងក្បោះក្បាយពីភាសាខ្មែរ ❤
