Features: Khmer is an Eastern language with Phnom Penh pronunciation as the standard. The national language of Cambodia is Khmer, and modern Khmer has absorbed many loanwords, including Sanskrit, Pali, French, Chinese, Thai, and Vietnamese, among others. The phonetic system of Khmer is formed by combining consonants and vowels. Consonants are divided into high consonants, low consonants, overlapping consonants, and aspirated consonants, while vowels are categorized into high vowels, low vowels, compound vowels, and independent vowels. In Khmer, there is a strict social hierarchy in language use, varying from person to person, with the language of the royal family holding a certain proportion in Khmer. This book is a phonetics stage textbook, focusing on learning pronunciation rules through phonetics study and simple oral exercises. It requires mastering pronunciation rules, being able to read words by sight, and engaging in simple conversations and reading short passages.
