The Lao-Speaking Nyo in Banteay Meanchey Province of Cambodia THE LAO-SPEAKING NYO Nyo and Yo but similar to Lao; 2) proto IN BANTEAY MEANCHEY Tai *əï,*eï,*oï become -aj in Lao Nyo, Lao and Yo but become -ə: in Nyo; 3) PROVINCE OF CAMBODIA proto Tai *kw,*khw,*xw,*ɣw become kw, khw, khw, khw in Yo but become k, kh, kh, 1 Thananan Trongdee kh in Nyo, Lao Nyo and Lao; and 4) the lexical items which are found only in Nyo Abstract cannot be found in Lao Nyo and Lao. Based on these four sets of evidence it can There are some researches indicating the be concluded that Lao Nyo in Banteay presence of Tai Yor or Lao Nyo or Nyo Meanchey is neither Nyo nor Yo but is speakers in the Aranyaprathet district, Sa instead a dialect of Lao. The explanation Keaw province of Thailand and in Banteay proposed to account for the identification Meanchey province of Cambodia. This is of this Lao dialect as Nyo or Lao Nyo is surprising because as it is generally that some tone shapes in Nyo and Lao Nyo understood the Nyo people are are very similar and some are even predominantly located in Tha Uthen identical to the tone shapes in Nyo. This is district, Nakhon Phanom province and in likely to explain why these Lao speakers the Kantharawichai district, Maha tend to identify themselves as Nyo or Lao Sarakham province. In order to investigate Nyo. this discrepancy in 2012 the Lao Nyo was studied by the author in Banteay Introduction Meanchey province and data were gathered on the phonological system and The suggestion that there are Nyo speakers basic words of the so called Lao Nyo in the southeastern part of Thailand and in dialect. The objectives of this paper are the northwestern part of Cambodia is first to prove that the Lao Nyo dialect in somewhat surprising. These places are Banteay Meanchey is neither Nyo nor Yo, very far from the Nyo’s homeland in and secondly to investigate some of the Khammouan village, in the Khamkeut reasons underlying the identification of district of Bolikhamxay province in Lao this Tai dialect as Lao Nyo. There are four PDR and quite far from their Nyo relatives sets of evidence presented here 1) a in Tha Uthen district of Nakhon Phanom comparison of the tone boxes between province and Nyo in the Kantharawichai Nyo, Yo, Lao Nyo and Lao; 2) a district of Maha Sarakham province in the comparison of the development of proto northeastern part of Thailand.2 The Nyo Tai *əï,*eï,*oï in these dialects; 3) a language in the southeastern part of comparison of the development of proto Thailand (i.e. in the Aranyaprathet district Tai *kw,*khw,*xw,*ɣw in these dialects; of Sa Keaw province) which is related to and 4) a comparison of the lexical items Nyo in Cambodia has been described by found only in Nyo.

The recently established new province of Banteay Meanchey of northwestern Cambodia, an area that Habitats of Lao Nyo in Cambodia was a part of Battambang province and Thailand for many centuries, is populated by at least five Tai groups: Phuan, Lao According to Schliesinger (2011b: 106) Vientiane, Tai Yor3, Khorat Thai and the Lao Nyo live in five villages, but, Lao-Thai Isan. They live in scattered during interviews for this paper, the villages in the fertile plains in the headman of Aunloung Svay Chas village western part of the province, and said that there are Lao Nyo in nine villages many work vast plots of rice paddy in the Ou Chrov district, the Banteay fields.

  • 3. Present Situation and Issues of Rural Electrification
    Final Report (Master Plan) Vol 2 Part 1 Chapter 3 3. PRESENT SITUATION AND ISSUES OF RURAL ELECTRIFICATION 3.1 OUTLINE OF POWER SUPPLY IN CAMBODIA Electricity was introduced in Cambodia first in the year 1906. Up to the year 1958, electricity in Cambodia was supplied by the three (3) private companies, namely CEE, UNEDI and CFKE. At the time, CEE supplied electricity to Phnom Penh and its surrounding areas and UNEDI to all provinces except for Battambang, which was supplied by CFKE. In 1958, the Government took over CEE and UNEDI and established a new state-own enterprise called as EdC. In 1958, total installed capacity in the country was approximately 30 MW, of which 16 MW was owned by EdC and others by private companies. In 1970, total installed capacity of EdC reached 61 MW, 68.5% of the total capacity of the country (79 MW). During 1971 to 1979, the power sector in the country passed through two dangerous events: social disorder triggered by a coup d'etat (1971-1975) and turbulent history during the Pol Pot Regime (1975- 1979). During this time, all kinds of generation, transmission and distribution facilities were destroyed not only in Phnom Penh but also in other areas. After the liberation in 1979, the Government started to restore the electricity infrastructure in the capital town and main provincial towns of the country. At that time, the whole electricity supply in the country was under management of the Ministry of Industry. The Government re-established EdC with the task of electricity supply in Phnom Penh and established small enterprises in provinces with the responsibility to supply electricity in each province.

    Preface We, member of Cambodia Children and Young People Movement for Child Rights ( CCYMCR ) facilitated by Child Rights Foundation, are pleased inform you‐adults, and boys and girls who are working for the best interests of children and youth‐ that we have noticed that there are a significant number of organizations, associations, groups or clubs led by children and youth across Cambodia. We first published a directory in 2005. As a result, we had learned that there were 217 child or youth‐led organizations and clubs. We second published a directory in 2006. We had learned that there were 290 child or youth‐led organizations and clubs across Cambodia. However, we were not sure whether the number of these organizations, associations, groups and children and youth clubs was increasing or decreasing in 2010. In respond to lack of the above information, we have redone a research to find out the clear‐ structured organizations and children and youth clubs led by children and youth under 24 years of age, still in operation across Cambodia and having contact address in order to compile a directory of child and youth‐led organizations, associations, groups or clubs the third time. The result of this third research indicates that there are 717 organizations, associations, groups, children and youth clubs operating in Cambodia. CCYMCR will update this book in the coming year, and we do hope that children and youth clubs, which have not been listed in the book, will send us their information once the book is to compile again. The main objective of this research is to identify activities implemented by children or youth clubs so as to facilitate our future collaboration.

While progress is being made in planning, prioritisation, and land release, the target of completing anti-personnel mine clearance by 2025 is highly ambitious and could only be achieved with significantly increased funding and capacity. Cambodia continued to make good progress during 2019 in its ongoing baseline re-survey to more accurately determine the extent of remaining contamination and expected to complete the survey in the course 2020. However, while release through survey in 2019 remained broadly the same as in 2018, clearance output fell significantly compared to previous year. Although not entirely clear, multiple factors are thought to account for the decrease in clearance, including tasking of a larger proportion of difficult-to-access mined areas with more challenging terrain, compared to previous years; clearance of more mixed contamination; and decreased funding to some operators.

From 2004 until now, we have documented 167 allegations of torture and/or ill treatment. Previously, CrCF has taken the lead in submitting shadow reports to various UN human rights bodies (UPR 2011, CRC 2011 CERD 2012, as well as the Committee for Convention against Torture (CAT-for 2013/2014), and submitted complaints to the UN Special Rapporteur on Torture and the UN Working Group on Enforced or Involuntary Disappearances. Furthermore, CrCF has cooperated on various occasions with the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) in organizing and conducting trainings and workshops for Thai human rights organizations. 2) Until date, CrCF continues to receive reports of cases of violation of the right to life and prohibition of torture and ill treatment; deaths in custody, arbitrary detention and enforced disappearances. Thailand has yet to ratify OP-CAT. Currently, there is no mechanism to monitor human rights violations, to support victims in submitting complaints or to investigate these complaints.

  • Implications of Border Trade Between Thailand and Cambodia
    doi: 10.14456/jms.2017.4 The Truck Terminal Project in Sa Kaeo Province: Implications of Border Trade between Thailand and Cambodia Jirawat Jaroensathapornkul School of Economics and Public Policy Srinakharinwirot University, Bangkok, Thailand E-mail: [email protected] Abstract Thailand has recently put in place a logistics development plan for a network of road transport. Included among several projects is one for setting up truck terminals in border cities to act as centers for the pooling and distribution of goods. Sa Kaeo is considered a promising border city. This study investigates the impacts of a truck terminal project in Sa Kaeo province on border trade between Thailand and Cambodia using secondary data and in-depth interviews that are analyzed under the SWOT Matrix. The analytical results have led to several recommendations, as follows: The Thai government should complete the project at Ban Nong Ian as soon as possible by including it in the formation of a special economic zone in the province. The reason is that Aranyaprathet Customs House, the existing check point, is no longer able to serve the major increase in border trade. However, there are certain concerns about an insufficient distribution of benefits to the general public in the province. It is therefore suggested that investment in the animal feed industry should be promoted in Sa Kaeo for export to Cambodia. Also, there are some concerns that Cambodian enterprises may be reluctant to transfer their products to the new customs house as they may have to bear more expenses. In this regard, the Thai government may offer temporary remedies for Thai entrepreneurs within a certain limit of time through a subsidy against the margin to maintain export prices at competitive levels to motivate Cambodian entrepreneurs to adapt their operations.
