Colored Khmer Consonants

Have questions or resources regarding Khmer Culture? This forum is all about the Kingdom of Cambodia's culture. Khmer language, Cambodian weddings, French influence, Cambodian architecture, Cambodian politics, Khmer customs, etc? This is the place. Living in Cambodia can cause you to experience a whole new level of culture shock, so feel free to talk about all things related to the Khmer people, and their traditions. And if you want something in Khmer script translated into English, you will probably find what you need.

Colored Khmer Consonants

Post by explorer »

Here is a chart with the Khmer Consonants. I hope this helps new people learn the Khmer alphabet.

Image

Many similar charts have all black letters. I posted this one because it has blue and red letters. When certain vowels follow one of the blue letters they have a certain sound. When the same vowel follows a red letter it has a different sound. Having blue and red letters should make it easier to learn.

When learning the writing, I suggest you ask a Cambodian to help.

I think I will stick to the well tried and trusted method of communicating with foreigners.

Speak English slowly and very loudly.

And if your method fails, there's always the alternative.

Repeat once more even LOUDER.

Never failed for me.

Every Khmer kid has one, stenciled on a play table, at school or on the wall at home.
Never seen one without the kosak and the ahkohsak.
Would make learning real hard.

I have this hanging on my wall for the kiddos. It’s great for them to practice. They can write on it with a whiteboard marker and clean it off to use it over and over again.
