Danny's Weblog
This section is for articles which relate mainly to the Cambodian language, often referred to as Khmer. As with the rest of my site, the articles are presented in *reverse* chronological order. Also, they tend to represent things which I have discovered or speculated about which *supplement* the standard materials: this is not intended to present a free teach-yourself-Khmer course.
In particular, note that I originally focused on using the "Limon-type" fonts for Cambodian, as they were far more commonly used than Unicode. Although I believe Limon is still much more common, support for Unicode is so much better these days that more recent posts focus on Unicode. To get a balanced picture, you should read the entire folder.

Some test phrases now uploaded for students of Cambodian
I have now recorded well over a hundred proper names and phrases spoken by a native Cambodian speaker, but I have not yet decided how to present them on my webpage.
This page is an experiment and shows only a handful of phrases.
This information has not been edited. (The native speaker's selection of "srok", "bprateh" etc in various cases seems inconsistent to me but is apparently correct.)
| England | bprateyh ongglayh |
| America | aameyriik |
| Thailand | bprateyh thai |
| Vietnam | bprateyh wietnaam |
| Singapore | bprateyh singapur |
| China | srok jeun |
| Hong Kong | dih grong hong kong |
