I've stuck with Long Hair's (Practical Dictionary for Foreigners Who Wish to Learn Khmer) standard of transliteration, because that seems to be the preferred dictionary of a number of forum members.flying chicken wrote:I would use the vowel O instead on A - 'trong' 'ttron'g'Sambo wrote:Straight - Trang

I also saw a few time on this board where posters recommended Long Hair for those wanting to learn Khmer. Basing from your OP I would have to say their use of vowels are a bit awful.

i think this is the problem with transliteration... 'cos the English person reads (for example) "chorp" differently than an American does (or a French person for that matter). So, yes, rhymes are good!Felgerkarb wrote:Wtf...chorp for stop? It sounds to a barang like CHOAP as in rhymes with soap.
