Once spoken by indigenous minorities, the S’aoch language is now spoken fluently by only 10 people in Cambodia.
Jean-Michel Fillipi, who studied and recorded the language for preservation, is to hold a conference on the vanishing language tomorrow at the Bophana Centre.
S’aoch is one example of the ephemeral heritage which will be celebrated by the World Day for Audiovisual Heritage.
Musicians from the Cham and Kroeung minorities will also perform during the day. Fillipi’s work adds to Bophana’s Hanuman database, which holds recordings from sources as diverse as Phnom Penh street singers to Nixon’s phone calls about America’s bombing of Indochina.
