Khmer is the official language of Cambodia, spoken by over 16 million people and written in its own distinctive Khmer script derived from ancient Brahmi scripts. It is an Austroasiatic language, notable for lacking tones (unlike many neighboring Southeast Asian languages) but having a complex system of consonant clusters and vowel diacritics. Learning Khmer is valuable for those working in diplomacy, NGOs, tourism, or business in Cambodia.
