The Jarai language is a member of the Austroasiatic language family, primarily spoken by the Jarai people in the Central Highlands of Vietnam and parts of Cambodia. It is known for its rich oral traditions and unique phonetic features, which include a variety of tones that can change the meaning of words. Jarai is written using the Latin alphabet, which was introduced during the colonial period. The language plays a crucial role in preserving the cultural identity of the Jarai community, as it is used in daily communication, traditional storytelling, and local rituals.
