Cambodian mangos to France

Cambodia news in English! Here you'll find all the breaking news from Cambodia translated into English for our international readership and expat community to read and comment on. The majority of our news stories are gathered from the local Khmer newspapers, but we also bring you newsworthy media from Cambodia before you read them anywhere else. Because of the huge population of the capital city, most articles are from Phnom Penh, but Siem Reap, Sihanoukville, and Kampot often make the headlines as well. We report on all arrests and deaths of foreigners in Cambodia, and the details often come from the Cambodian police or local Khmer journalists. As an ASEAN news outlet, we also publish regional news and events from our neighboring countries. We also share local Khmer news stories that you won't find in English anywhere else. If you're looking for a certain article, you may use our site's search feature to find it quickly.

Keo Romeat and what the locals call Keo.L'meat are one and the same. In the local dialect they don't seem to like the "ro" sound too much. .But I have never heard of the last one you mentioned.

I never write that mango name , just speaking. But I think it's same because the color of mango look yellow like Romeat. So when they speak they make it short by changing from Ro to L' . many words that we use in speaking different from writing.

I am unaware of a blue mango
Thanks for that asp...when I asked the missus about thise 2 varieties with the full name she knew what they were...guess my pronunciation for just "svay keo" confused her first time round, haha.

Lil salary wrote, "many words that we use in speaking different from writing..." Truer words were never spoken. I realise this is off topic but I think mango contributions have died out.

So my question is this: Is this substitution of "h" for bang common throughout all of Cambodia or limited to certain areas?

Here is another example. In our village no one says"roap" (to count) they say"hoap." Another example is kru bangrien they say ku p'hien. So, is it common to substitute a "p" sound for bang when used as a transitive verb? Is it just in some villages and is it considered an uneducated variation of proper Khmer? Thank you for your input.

Yes, even me. I speak shorter than writing. Same like your village. But formal speaking in public which is in front of many people, we speak clearly like our writing.
I speak hoap, kru p'hien... Some people might laugh but most of us speak like this.
Do you know the word Ta Pis Ta Peash?

I don't know if"ort yul" referred to you or me so the English is there's a mess all over the place. I have no interest in moving the thread. Too late
