Khmer

An Austroasiatic language that is widely spoken in Cambodia, Vietnam, and Thailand. Other locations, where Khmer is spoken in the Cambodian minority, is in the USA, France, and South Korea. Many thousands of years earlier, the civilization of the Khmer started around the Mekong River in present-day South China and Laos or Thailand. The Khmer are cousins to other Austroasiatic groups, including Mon, Wa, Munda, and Javanese. Those tribes were probably the oldest Southeast Asian natives and they stayed together, up until that point that they were pushed down further into Southeast Asia to intermarry or to assimilate many Australoid tribes, such as Negritos and Melanesians, that they borrowed a small number of Australoid phrases in their languages. While the Khmer established several kingdoms from the Funan Kingdom to the Khmer Empire, the Khmer adopted the Indian script for their written language. The Thai and Lao people would later adopt the same Indian script as the Khmer do in their own versions to communicate with each other better, despite Thai and Lao being categorized as Daic languages, unless people travel more south in Thailand and Laos, where the higher the Austroasiatic accent is spoken.

The Khmer made contact with Indians to trade with them and to allow Indians to visit their constructed temples. Angkor Wat is the most recognized temple, it is used the most to symbolize Cambodia's national flag, and it was the capital city of the Khmer Empire for centralized government affairs. Depressingly, when the Khmer Empire's centralized government power grew too corrupted and it was diminishing, the Thai and Vietnamese Kingdoms successfully overthrew the Khmer Empire, resulting in the Khmer shifting their main government from Angkor Wat to Phnom Penh and Cambodia being reduced to a small country even to this day, despite the alliance with the Chinese-ruled Tang and Song dynasties. In the 1970s, Pol Pot and the Khmer Rouge were triggered that they lost so much of their former territories and they were paranoid that Vietnam will take over Cambodia, so the Cambodian holocaust occurred, which ethnic cleansed most Vietnamese-Cambodians and the Khmer Rouge invaded South Vietnam. Being unsuccessful in annexing South Vietnam, Vietnamese soldiers easily wiped the floor with the Khmer Rouge and the Hanoi government installed Hun Sen as the eternal prime minister of Cambodia from the 1980s to the present day.

Khmer Rouge

The Cambodian regime that terrorized Cambodia from 1975 to 1979. In the 1970s, the USA bombed Cambodia to get rid of the communist Vietcong, who was hiding underground, but this caused the Khmer Rouge to mistrust the USA and they overthrew the Western puppet, Lon Nol, since Cambodia tried to remain neutral. The leader of the Khmer Rouge, Pol Pot, was not a true communist, because he was a Chinese puppet being installed by China and Pol Pot even discarded communism in 1975. In fact, the West also supported the Khmer Rouge and didn't care if Cambodians were suffering. In actuality, Pol Pot was a Khmer nationalist by seeking to resurrect the Khmer Empire, based on his desire to slaughter all Vietnamese, Thai, Chinese, Cham, and other races, who he saw as threats to the Khmer race, as well as slaughtering Buddhists and the educated, and reclaiming lost territories, including South Vietnam, Thailand, and Laos. Also, Pol Pot wanted to remove Cambodian currency for the Khmer elites to flourish in wealth for themselves. After massacring about 1.7 to 2.2 million Cambodians, Pol Pot made a foolishly grave mistake by stepping onto Vietnam's soil from the west. The Vietcong easily defeated and exiled the Khmer Rouge into Cambodia's forests, where Pol Pot was put under house arrest until he died in 1998. Although, Pol Pot was largely assisted by PLA soldiers of Beijing to ward off against the Vietnamese from the north, but the Khmer Rouge was finished.

Despite the Khmer Rouge era being over, Hun Sen was a Khmer Rouge officer and he was installed as the prime minister of Cambodia in the late 20th century. Hun Sen used to support the Khmer Rouge's heinous actions against the Cambodians until he ceased supporting the Khmer Rouge in favor of siding with the Vietcong and his Cambodian people. However, Hun Sen sides with China now to enrich himself with wealth by allowing China to occupy his military naval base. It seems that money and power are more important than a human life to greedy politicians. Look at the brighter side. At least Cambodia isn't as totalitarian as North Korea or China these days, but we will see how Cambodia will be doing in the future.
