Abstract
Pali and Sanskrit were languages that have influenced both Thai and Khmer languages. They are considered to be high languages that are attached to Buddhism and Brahmanism. They were languages that have a system of word formation that are formative and meaningful, extensive and profound. These systems, both in Thai and Khmer, have been used as examples in the creation of words used in their language from the past to the present. The Thai language and Khmer languages were beautiful in both words and form and praised as the languages of the learned people. They were languages with a high degree of linguistic clarity in language. As for the word use and word formation of Pali and Sanskrit in Thai and Khmer languages, though they derived from the same original source, both Thai and Khmer languages have specific ways to decorate the Pali and Sanskrit words to be used in their own language. The reason for the different refinement of Thai and Khmer was due to duration of historical ties between the two countries in Thailand and Cambodia.
