TN

 

Of Cambodian origin, TN relocated to the UK after fleeing the Khmer Rouge regime in 1978.  TN’s experience of teaching Cambodian dates back to a teaching post at a private college in Cambodia shortly after graduating.  Subsequently, TN worked for the UN Refugee Agency (UNHCR) as a teacher of Cambodian and French.   

On arriving in the UK, TN joined the British Refugee Council at a supervisor level and later served as a Housing Office for the London Borough of Islington.  TN returned to teaching when he became the Education Co-ordinator and Cambodian language trainer at the Community Centre for Refugees from Vietnam-Laos and Cambodia in Hackney, London.  For Communicaid, TN has successfully delivered Cambodian courses for delegates from the public sector.

– Facts about the Cambodian language

Cambodian also commonly known as the Khmer language is the official language of Cambodia.  Outside of Cambodia, Cambodian is spoken as either a first or second language by sizeable populations in Vietnam, Thailand, China as well as in smaller communities in the United States and France. Estimates of number of speakers vary greatly from between 15 and 21 million.

 

Cambodian belongs to the Mon-Khmer branch of the Austro-Asiatic language family.  It is most closely related to its fellow Austro-Asiatic languages but significant influence from Sanskrit and Pali can be traced back to their Buddhist and Hindu roots.  Moreover, due to their close proximity, features of Thai and Laotian have also had an influence on the Cambodian language. Within Cambodian itself, there are some very distinct dialects. Marked differences can be found between the speech from the area around the capital city of Phnom Penh, the rural Battambang area, the Cardamom Mountains and neighbouring Thailand.  Standard Cambodian is based on the Phnom Penh dialect.

Cambodian script ultimately derives from the ancient Brahmi script of India and resembles the Thai and Lao alphabets.  Cambodian does not use space to separate words. Rather the use of spaces is used to denote the end of a clause or sentence.  There are 33 consonants and 24 vowels in the Cambodian alphabet.
