I have a question... why when we write Khmer, we use jerng of the consonant instead of the entire kloun of the letter...

is there a golden rule to stick by when writing letters and using jerng of letters?


Thank you lok krou for your upcoming answers.

it represents a consonant blend. you don't just use a jerng you use it in conjunction with another consonant. a blend would be like tr, sh, ch, st, etc. in english.

im half asleep, so i'm not sure if i answered your question, or understood it for that matter


Yes! That's what I thought but didn't know... the hard part is to determine which blend deserves a jerng. Thanks for the reply!

one consonant with one jerng would equal a consonant blend. not a blend and a jerng, geez, is that even possible?

is there a set number of consonant blends in the Khmer language that a person can easily memorize it all?


and what's that round character above some letters... is that a srak? see diagram below

yea, it's a srak, it's om

i dont know about the number of consonant blends but putting two consonants together does not change the sound of the consonant like in the case of ch, tr, etc., i dont think..

Khmer consonants are known 'ahsah tuov'. Consonants are divided into two voices. One of the voices is called akhosak, also know as small voice or first series. For the audio reference the small voice series are depicted in blue color. The other voice is call 'khosak' or large voice or 2nd series which is depicted in the audio reference in green color. Khmer vowels are known as srak. When we refer to srak, it is understood that its the dependent vowels which means that their sound values are dependent on the consonants voice or series. There are 23 vowels in Khmer alphabet. Each vowels has a dissonance (2 sound values) depending on the consonant voices. The multimedia reference breaks the sound into the two respective sounds. The blue color vowels take the sound of first series consonant (ahkhosak). The green color vowels that goes with the second series consontants (khosak) in Khmer. Independend vowels are as the name specified vowels that are independent of the consonants--the sound of the vowels does not depend on whether the consonant is soka or ahsoka. One indpendend vowel «ឥ» has three different sound. click on the letters for audio.

Do we use green colored vowels pronunciation for green colored consonants, and blue colored vowels pronunciation for blue colored consonants?
