Khmer
The speaker must always pay attention to the hierarchical status of the person being spoken to. Pronouns and verbs change depending on a person’s status.
KHMER or Cambodian is the official language of Cambodia. It is spoken by approximately 16 million people. Both Thai and Lao alphabets derived from the Khmer alphabet, but unlike those languages it is not a tonal language.
Social status and Khmer language
Hierarchical social relationships in Cambodia exert a tremendous impact on the language. The speaker must always pay attention to the hierarchical status of the person being spoken to. The choice of pronouns and verbs (or even terms for body parts) changes depending on a person’s status. To ensure the accuracy of your project, it’s important to assemble as much information as possible about your target audience.
