Khmer varieties and dialects we handle
Standard Khmer (Phnom Penh)
The prestige variety based on the speech of the capital, used in education, media, and most formal and legal contexts. This is the variety most U.S. Khmer interpreting work is conducted in.
Battambang and provincial Khmer
Northwestern and rural varieties spoken by many refugees who came from the provinces. Differences are mainly in vocabulary, pronunciation, and pacing rather than mutual intelligibility, but they can matter for older or rural-origin speakers giving detailed testimony.
Khmer Krom
The Khmer variety of the Mekong Delta region of present-day southern Vietnam. Speakers are ethnic Khmer from Vietnam, and the variety carries some distinct vocabulary. Relevant to flag when a client identifies as Khmer Krom.
Register and honorifics
Khmer uses an elaborate system of registers, including monastic and royal vocabulary, so word choice shifts with the speaker's status and the formality of the setting. A skilled interpreter manages register accurately in court and clinical interpreting.
