The Cambodian Language
- Cambodian is natively known as ភាសាខ្មែរ and belongs to the Austroasiatic, Mon-Khmer language family.
- There are approximately 16 million native speakers worldwide.
- Khmer (Cambodian) is the official language of Cambodia and has the largest alphabet in the world, with 74 characters in its script according to the Guinness Book of Records.
- Unlike its neighbours Thai, Lao, and Vietnamese, Khmer is not a tonal language, making it unique among mainland Southeast Asian languages.
- The Khmer script is descended from the Pallava script of southern India and has been in continuous use since the 7th century, with inscriptions found throughout the Angkor temple complex.
- Khmer has a complex system of royal vocabulary (Reach) used exclusively when speaking about or to the King, reflecting the deep respect for the monarchy.
- The language has heavily influenced Thai and Lao, which borrowed much of their literary and administrative vocabulary from Khmer during the Angkor period.
- Cambodia-born Australians number over 35,000, with the majority arriving as refugees in the 1980s and 1990s following the Khmer Rouge genocide and its aftermath. Communities are concentrated in Fairfield and Cabramatta in Sydney, as well as in Melbourne, Adelaide, and Perth. Buddhist temples (Wats) serve as key community centres.
About Croydon
Croydon is a suburb in the inner-west of Sydney, in the state of New South Wales, Australia. Croydon is located 11 kilometres west of the Sydney central business district. Croydon is split between the two local government areas of Burwood Council and the Municipality of Ashfield. The suburb is nestled between the commercial centres of Ashfield and Burwood. It is bounded by Parramatta Road to the north, Iron Cove Creek to the east, Arthur Street to the south and a number of different streets to the west. To the north are Kings and Canada Bays on the closest reach of the Parramatta River, to the northwest is Concord Hospital and the Olympic Games complex at Homebush Bay. To the south is Canterbury Racecourse. Prior to the arrival of Europeans, the area now known as Croydon was home to the Wangal clan of the Dharug people. Their territory was believed to be centred on Concord and stretched east to the swampland of Long Cove Creek. The land was heavily wooded at the time with tall eucalypts, blackbutts and turpentines covering the higher ground and mangroves, swamp oaks and swamp mahoganies in the lower swampy ground of Iron Cove Creek. The diet of the Wangal was primarily fish so they spent most of their time living near the shores of the Parramatta River and fishing in canoes. The land away from the river shores provided fruits, berries and edible plants as well as possums and kangaroos, which were killed both for food and their skins.
