CAMBOJAN.
"THE Cambojan language is
spoken in Cambodia, once an independent and powerful state, but now
divided between Siam and the empire of Anam. The language differs
materially from the Siamese,
being more harsh, but at the same time more copious. Gutzlaff commenced a version of the New
Testament in Cambojan, but it would appear that he afterwards discontinued
it. Throughout the
other provinces of the empire of Anam, a monosyllabic language denominated
the Anamite or
Anamitic
is spoken, in which, however, no translation of the Scriptures exists, but
only a Grammar and Dictionary,
by the Bishop Taberd, printed at Serampore in 1838."--The Bible of
Every Land. (1860, Second Edition) Samuel Bagster [Info only]
