Vietnam radio broadcasts first M'Nong ethnic language

Radio the Voice of Vietnam (VOV) launched its first broadcast in the M'Nong ethnic language on 19 August. The M'Nong-language broadcast, the eleventh service of the VOV for ethnic minority groups, will be aired six times a day at 6020KHz SW (short wave), AM and FM. The 30 minute-broadcast will discuss local social-economic development and provide cultural programmes for M'Nong ethnic people.

The service is expected to help preserve the language and cultural characteristics of the Central Highlands' ethnic group. VOV airs programmes in seven other Central Highland's ethnic languages including Ede, Jrai, Bana, Sedang, K'Ho, H'Mong and Thai.
