Cambodian belongs to the Mon-Khmer language family...which Vietnamese belongs to. The languages are somewhat similar. Cambodian is also similar to Thai although Thai comes from a different language family, only because a good portion of Thai borrows words from Cambodia. oh and there is some european/french influence, apparent in words such as "aeroplan" instead of "kapal hou" or "macin" for machine
