Montagnards--Mnong Language?

Does anyone know anything about the Montagnard languages of Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia? I'm having trouble finding resources on the web that tell me about their grammatical structures.

Hello Nestor. I can point you in the direction of materials for Mnong - dictionaries and language lessons have been produced over the years by SIL International (sil.org).
I have a keen interest in Mnong and related languages, see my website via Mon-Khmer.com. I would love to know more about you work and the people you teach. Please drop me a line at: (email removed, please add to profile)

Lao people say "will" to distinguish future occurences and "alrea
