Khmer is the official language of Cambodia. It is used in government administration, educational institutes and mass media. Roughly 90% of the population speak this language. French is also spoken by some people. English is understood and spoken in hotels and business compounds.

The vast majority of Khmer speakers speak Central Khmer, the dialect of the central plain where the Khmer are most heavily concentrated. Within Cambodia, regional accents exist in remote areas but these are regarded varieties of Central Khmer. Two exceptions are the speech of the capital, Phnom Penh, and that of the Khmer Khe in Stung Treng province, both of which differ sufficiently enough from Central Khmer to be considered separate dialects of Khmer.

Cambodia’s culture is hugely inspired by the Indian religions of Hinduism and Buddhism, developing the unique Khmer belief. The majority of Cambodians are Theravada Buddhist. The Khmer culture reinforces a sense of hierarchy within society. When greeting people or to show respect, Cambodia people do the “sampeah” gesture, identical to Indian “namaste” and Thai “wai”.

Cambodian cuisine includes noodles, soups, grills, stir-fried, curries, salads, and desserts, lots of vegetables, tropical fruits and rice. The key ingredients are kaffir lime, lemon grass, garlic, fish sauce, soy sauce, curry, tamarind, ginger, oyster sauce, coconut milk and black pepper. Cambodians are meat lovers and it is used in most of their dishes. Therefore, vegetarians need to be little careful before eating something.
