How easy is it to learn the language as a Khmer speaker?

As the title says. I'm a second-generation native Khmer speaker in Europe who's interested in linguistics and I wanted to just pick up a bunch of languages. I wanted to learn some related languages like Thai but I noticed that these languages have a ton of Sanskrit or Pali loanwords or terms derived from them which got me really interested in picking Sanskrit or Pali up. So how hard would it be for me, A Khmer speaker, to learn Sanskrit?

So.... Random question here, but is there anywhere in Seattle proper where I can take Khmer language classes?

Hello Reddit, I'm a white guy with a Cambodian Fiancee, and I've decided that one of her presents this year from me was going to be me at the very least starting to learn how to speak Khmer. I wanna surprise her eventually, but I'm unsure of where to look. Has anyone around here heard of such a thing? I've already found a wonderful man on YouTube who has entire series dedicated to this topic, but I would also love for a classroom environment to learn, as well, so if you know of anyone local who teaches private or public lessons, I'd be real willing to look into those avenues, as well. Have a Happy Holidays or a Merry Christmas if you don't mind hearing that from a Stranger!

Needed help with my thesis in exchange for teaching Khmer language.

So I am a Khmer student who write an English thesis, and thing has been extremely hard for me. I’m currently writing my master degree thesis in English and English is not my first language, so I’ve struggled a lot. I’m hoping to find someone to proof reading my documents one time a week and won’t be more than 10 pages. In exchange, I will teach Khmer in return, 2 hours a week. I hope to do this until the end of December. So, If anyone interested, please comment or DM me. Thank you.

Despite having their lands under the control of the Khmer Empire, why didn't Thailand and Laos speak an Austro-Asiatic language instead of a Kra-Dai language?

The Khmer Empire covered most of the territory that now belong to Thailand and Laos. In the 1000s CE, due to some issues in the area, Tai tribes migrated down from Southern China to Southeast Asia. They mostly settled in the Chao Phraya and Mekong River basins. At that point, the Khmers were more civilized than the Thais and the Laotians.

In 1238, the Thai Sukhothai Kingdom declared independence from the Khmer Empire.

In 1353, the Laotian Lan Xang Kingdom was created and later conquered most of Khmer territory in the Isan region.

These countries kept their original languages, but why was that the case?

  • The Franks, a Germanic tribe migrated into France, but spoke French Vulgar Latin instead of Frankish.
  • The Turks who conquered Persia assimilated into the Persian culture instead of their own Turkic language.
  • The Mongols conquered half of the world, but they adopted the local cultures of the people they conquered.

There are some exceptions to this rule, but I want to address this scenario instead of the others.

  • Britain was under Roman rule, but the Germanic tribes migrated across the North Sea and didn't adopt British Vulgar Latin
  • Anatolia was under Byzantine rule, but the Turkic tribes migrated to Anatolia and didn't adopt the Greek language
  • Vietnam was under Chinese rule for over 1000 years, but didn't speak a Sinitic language instead of an Austro-Asiatic language.

Offering: English (American), Seeking: Khmer/Cambodian, Spanish, American Sign Language, Irish, Old Irish, French, and/or German

Hello! I'm a university student in the US and a writer specializing in folklore and ghost stories. My mother is a Cambodian to American immigrant, but I can't speak Khmer and I'm steadily approaching the limits of the language learning apps I found. I'm also trying to write a book inspired by my mother's life and I'm finding it hard to properly represent Khmer culture and would love some insight. As for the other languages, I'm writing (another) book involving more western folklore and I'm learning Irish so I can better understand the context of translations I'm making when a character of mine time travels to 5th century Ireland. If you know an older version of Irish I would love to talk with you. I want to learn Spanish because it's the main language for a lot of people in my area closer to the US/Mexico border. Similarly, I think it's important to learn at least a passing level of ASL because it's not like those who are deaf or hard of hearing have much of a choice when communicating. Learning French and German more on the side, but I want to learn these because of how common French is and because one of my friends is German. Would love to make friends with anyone who can speak these. I would like to try out this method of language exchange from this video. Please DM me if you're interested. I have zoom and discord.

just wondering something about the khmer language.

chomreabsuor! i like learning about languages and became interested in the khmer culture and language because it shares a lot of uncanny resemblance to my culture, the javanese culture. i was learning a bit of khmer in my past time just to do it, and i noticed a lot of words have pronunciation the do not match the spelling. im just wondering how come that is.

for example (as said by my khmer friend):

αžŸαž»αŸ†αž‘αŸ„αžŸ : symbol for symbol, its seen as 'somtos' however, ive heard it pronounced 'somtoh'

αž”αŸ’αžšαž–αž“αŸ’αž’ : symbol for symbol, its seen as 'brapon' however, ive heard it pronounced 'beupeun'

i might just be overthinking it and it is a dialect sort of thing, im just hearing it wrong, or its just a way to shorten the word to make it flow more along the tongue (we have a lot of those in javanese), but this is sort of a shower thought that came up. arkoun chraen!

Quick Khmer Language Question -

My girlfriend and I are considering getting something in Khmer as a tattoo. Our life motto has always been β€˜Magic & Reason.’ Its always been our guiding principle when it comes to life choices and new challenges. Anyways, we were thinking of getting this, in Khmer, as a tattoo. Google Translate, as good as it is, is not always perfect, so I was hoping someone could confirm or correct the result before we make this permanent.

So, does αžœαŸαž‘αž˜αž“αŸ’αžαž“αž·αž„αž αŸαžαž»αž•αž› mean the same thing as Magic & Reason?

If so, hurrah! If not, could you please help us get an accurate translation? THANKS IN ADVANCE!

Learning/remembering languages that don’t use English letters? (Khmer language)

Hey guys, I’ve been learning Khmer for the past year and a half. I can write and read decently, but some things just don’t click. I know the lettering fairly well, but there are sounds that seem very similar to me that I still mix up. I have words that I’ve written a ton of times and I can’t keep the spelling straight. I also have vocab words more so for reading/speaking and I can’t keep them all in my head. What is the best way to remember other spellings that aren’t in English letters? I also can’t seem to find reading materials that are perfect for my level of understanding. Either they’re way too easy or way too hard. Help!
