Mondulkiri (Khmer: មណ្ឌលគិរី, IPA: [mɔn ˌdɔːl ki ˈriː] literally: "Muntain o the Mandala.") is a province (khaet) o Cambodie. Bordering the provinces o Kratie tae the wast, Stung Treng tae the northwast, Ratanakiri tae the north an the kintra o Vietnam tae the east an sooth, it is the maist spairsely populatit province in the kintra despite being the lairgest in land aurie. The caipital is the toun o Senmonorom.
Mondulkiri is kent for its forestit hills an pouerful watterfaws. Some watterfaws include:
Mondulkiri faces a significant threat frae illegal loggers attemptin tae exploit the aurie's virgin forests.[2]
The province is subdividit intae 5 destricts, which are further subdivided into 21 communes and 98 villages.
Aichty percent o Mondulkiri's population is made up o ten tribal minorities, wi the majority o them being Pnong. The remainin 20 percent are Khmer, Cheenese, an Muslims Cham.
The population lives aff the land, plantin rice, fruit trees, an a variety o vegetables. Ithers grow strawberries, coffee, rubber, an cashew nuts.
Road development continues tae impact seriously on indigenous commonties like the Pnong ethnic group. Accordin tae a Unitit Naitions paper, the construction o a road frae Mondulkiri tae Ratanakiri haes resultit in massive land grabbin.[3]
Although mair an mair hooses are built in 'Khmer style', traditional Phnong hooses can still be foond. Pnong hooses contain lairge jars (which are said tae be mair nor a thoosan year auld) an traditional gongs. Thare are various gongs uised at different occasions. Jars an gongs are amang the maist valuable possessions o indigenous commonties baith in traditional an spiritual as well as material terms. Durin the times o Pol Pot those objects wur buriet in hidden places in the jungle an in mony cases they still wait in the grund.
