Скачать или смотреть Learn About the Jarai People of Ratanakiri | Lap Siu Talks with Thimothe Romam (In Jarai language)

Join me, Lap Siu—a Jarai speaker and cultural researcher—for a rare and heartfelt Zoom conversation with Thimothe Romam in Ratanakiri Province, Cambodia. Filmed in February 2025, this interview is my first time meeting a Jarai person from Cambodia, even after years of studying the community.
Although my Jarai dialect (Cheo Reo) differs from the Jarai spoken in Cambodia, our shared heritage created an instant connection. With Thimothe’s ability to speak English, Vietnamese, and a Jarai dialect from Vietnam, we bridged languages and cultures to share stories across continents.

Insights into the Jarai community in Ratanakiri: population, number of villages, farming traditions, and religious practices
