Publisher Description: Cambodian, or Khmer, is the official and principal language of the Kingdom of Cambodia. With between five and six million speakers, some of whom live in adjacent countries, Cambodian is the largest single modern representative of the geographically widespread Mon-Khmer family of languages, and the only member of this family which has the status of a national language. Its dialects, including those spoken outside of Cambodia proper, are remarkably homogeneous except as regards phonology. The two most important dialects, Standard and Phnom Penh, are both represented in this course.The present volume contains units 1-45 of a projected 100 unit Basic Course. It was prepared at the Foreign Service Institute with the support of the Office of Education, Department of Health, Education and Welfare, under the National Defense Education Act. |
