Cambodian Transcription Services

Different regions of Cambodia have their own unique dialects but, there are only three that are recognised as official dialects in the country. 

These are the Battambang Khmer dialect which is spoken in north-western part of the Battambang province and in other central provinces,  the Phnom Penh Khmer dialect spoken in the capital and surrounding areas, and the Khmer Khe or Khmer Khes dialect which is spoken in the province of Stung Treng.

The Cambodian language is spoken in many different ways, depending on geographical location and slight differences in pronunciation can cause the meaning of words to be entirely different.

This can make finding a transcription service difficult if your audio or video is of one of the lesser-known dialects. 

Luckily Absolute Translations only hire native-speaking Cambodian transcriptionists who are also highly qualified linguists, this means that no matter how obscure your audio we will be able to efficiently and accurately transcribe it for you - and if needed, we can also have it  translated it into 200+ languages.

Khmer is one of the most phonetically rich languages in the world, with 33 consonants and 24 vowels.

In addition to this, the Khmer script or Rova script is an abugida, which means that consonant-vowel combinations are written as a unit for each syllable, although with distinctive vowel forms for initial consonants.

Khmer Script is used to write Khmer - the official language of Cambodia, which is spoken in Cambodia, Thailand, Laos and Vietnam. The Khmer script is also used to write Pali in the Buddhist liturgy of Cambodia and Thailand.

Khmer is a language that has been heavily influenced by Sanskrit, Pali, Hinduism and Buddhism, because of this, there has been an influence of royal languages meaning whenever spoken the speaker must always be conscious of the social status of the person that is being spoken to. 

The speaker will use different registers and change their word choices based on the status of the person they are speaking to, there is also a marked difference between common speech, polite speech, speaking to or about royals and speaking to or about holy people. 

This can be very confusing to second-language speakers, and often seems as though people are speaking in a completely different language altogether. 

This is why it is so important when transcribing Cambodian language audio to only use a native speaking transcriptionist and use a transcription service you can trust to fully understand the cultural context of your Cambodian audio.
