Interesting Facts
- Khmer is not the tonal language.
- Khmer language has borrowed philisophical, administrative and technical vocabulary from Sanskrit and Pali.
- Thai is tonal language and also it is very repetitive and exaggerative language.
- You should learn thai language with native speakers and not with books or recorders, since speaking and writing in thai are not the same.
