Cambodia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The Khmer language is a member of the Mon-Khmer subfamily of the Austroasiatic language group. The Khmer Rouge justified its actions by claiming that Cambodia was on the brink of major famine due to the American bombing campaigns, and that this required the evacuation of the cities to the countryside so that people could become self-sufficient, however this claim is generally dismissed as an excuse by many. Khmer culture is very hierarchical, in that the greater a person's age, the greater the level of respect that must be granted to them. www.wikipedia.org /wiki/Cambodia   (4417 words)

Euro-Mon Community Mon is a member of a fairly large but much broken down and scattered family of languages, which extends (in detached fragments) from the extreme west of the Central Provinces of India through Assam and Indo-China right down into the Malay Peninsula. The kings, both Burmese and Mon, seem to have indulged in a double nomenclature: an elaborate Indian name, sometimes of stupendous length, was used by them as their royal style, though they had shorter native names as well, by which (as a rule) they are known in the histories. About the middle of that century the Mon area was much reduced by Burmese conquests, culminating in the total annexation of the Mon country to the Burmese kingdom of Pagan and the settlement of Tavoy and Southern Tenasserim by Burmese, who thus cut off the Mon race from their connexion with the more distant south. www.eumon.org /HistoryOfMonInscription.htm   (4995 words)

Khmer Inscription Khmer Language - Cambodia Generally, the Khmer inscription had its own distinction and the content was mostly a listing of assets, covering from paddy fields, cattle, objects and furniture, as well as the names of slaves which were owned by the temples. Many literatures and other Khmer manuscripts, being written on unendurable materials other than on stone, are believed to have been lost with time, and some may have been survived until present day as local folklores. This could lead us to imagine that the Khmers were devout to their gods in whom they revered as their protector, and god's blessing would bring them prosperity. www.cambodia-travel.com /khmer/inscription.htm   (568 words)

About Khmer The Mon and the Khmer peoples moved into Southeast Asia before the Christian era, probably from the north, arriving before their present neighbors—the Vietnamese, Lao, and Thai. Khmer Rouge remnants, meanwhile, with some support from non-Communists, continued resistance, especially in areas on the Thai border, and they retained Cambodia’s UN seat. Remnants of the Khmer Rouge and other groups organized the Coalition Government of Democratic Kâmpùchéa in opposition to the Vietnamese-backed regime and were able to retain Cambodia’s seat at the United Nations (UN). members.tripod.com /sophanara35/about.htm   (3379 words)
