	~~== Languages ==~~
	Thai people in Cambodia today can speak both Thai and Khmer. They are divided into Thai people in Banteay Meanchey and Battambang provinces, some speaking Central Thai and Korat Thai dialects However, some of their descendants have begun to not use Thai because they mainly use Khmer for communication, and it is found that few people can use Thai Meanwhile, Thai people in Koh Kong speak Central Thai with the same accent as Trat province, and still communicate mainly in Thai Originally, in 1963, Koh Kong had a law prohibiting its residents from speaking Thai, with a fine of 25 riel per word, no Thai money, and no Thai books in the house. If officials found any, they would be destroyed. Later, in 1964, the fine for speaking Thai increased to 50 riel. Failure to comply would result in public humiliation. In the book ''Tamil Government'' and ''Patjantakiri Khet, City of Memories,'' it mentions Mrs. Long, a Thai woman from Bang Krasop village, quarreling with her husband, Mr. Heng. Mrs. Long accidentally cursed her husband in Thai, and the matter reached the village committee, who punished Mrs. Long by making her do hard labor. Mrs. Long refused to accept this and drank poison to commit suicide, causing distress to the Thai people in Koh Kong who could not use their ancestral language. But today the Thai language is very important. Cambodians, whether Thai or Khmer, like to send their children to study in Thailand for the benefit of the language. Many have to study in the same class as younger Thai students. Once they become fluent in Thai, they will drop out mid-course and return to work in Cambodia.

	Currently, the Thai people of Koh Kong use the Khmer language with the Kampot and Takeo accents in their daily lives, but they have a distinct accent because of the addition of tonal sounds that are not present in the Khmer language, and they tend to avoid the many consonant clusters in the Khmer language, which few can pronounce like native Khmers.
