Why don't you, Sean Masavang, go back to ask the French to implement what they had in mind for Khmer back then, just as they did for the Viet's ...
...
The creep of your caliber must understand exactly what I meant!!!
តើអាងាប់ឯងយល់ទេ?

I thought I was reading Vietnamese from my primary school days again :(, damn, is this is another subtle path leading to...
This is really a good idea. It will be very easy to learn for children and illiterate adults.

for Youn children, yes. So what makes Latin character any easier then Khmer character?
It's not any easier, it's just a mindset. You value foreign language more then your own, so it is easier for you.
If a child is illiterate, you can start him off with any character system, even the hazard thousands of character based like the East Orientals (Chinese), they will still learn it.
But if you want to teach an illiterate adult who by definition of illiterate, has never been able to read or understand characters before, there is no distinction and makes no difference what character you start off from.
Reading wise, Khmer and Sansrkit based system is more easy to pick up and faster to learn to read. Why? Because each phoneme is exactly matched, there is no confusing vowel sounds changes.
Very systematic and scientific, probably easiest to learn.
Massavang,
Before Romanizing Khmer words, please help yourself
learn how to write in Khmer first.
Mr. Sean,
Stop dividing Khmers over your laughable idea.
Yuon are about to swallow our country, you like Theary Seng are being busy trying to Romanize Khmer !!!
Do not Romanize Khmer, but do DEVIETNAMIZE CAMBODIA !!!

To: Masavang Sean
You are not doing anybody a favor besides trying to kill Khmer Language! If you are too dumb to learn the real Khmer Language and you are too dumb to learn anything else! Khmer people including Khmer leaders in the past had foreseen the so called Romanized Writing of Khmer Language way before you were born and why they didn't rush to adopt the Romanization of Khmer Language because the reasons are countless and they are not as stupid as you!
The Chinese did not Romanized their language and they became one of the world super powers! The Japanese did not Romanized their language and they became one of the economic super powers! Look Greece a country that started the Romanize writing...where is Greece now on the world stage?
This proves that the writing system has nothing to do with the progress of a country! If Cambodian people are so serious about getting ahead and want progress for their country and they need to study international languages such the English,Chinese, Japanese, Spanish, French, German… language the opportunity are endless! Creating another Romanized Language is just a fucken waste of time!
Masavang,
You deserve "Ke Che mrai hoi dei penh mek !".
Cham tea meul tov !
Until you die, with remorse .20
Mr. Masavang, your idea is not too bad, but a little naive. Instead to promote and help our Khmer people to learn our Khmer language, you now bring another trouble and want our Khmer people to learn the Viet.
Ce ne sont que des phonétiques.
Nous devrons rester toujours vigilant et surveiller de prés !
អានេះវាឆ្កួត ធ្វើមើលតែវាពូកែ ខ្មែរខំការពារអក្សរបានដល់សព្វថ្ងែ ឈាមហូរមិនដឹង
អស់ប៉ុន្មាន ស្រាប់តែវាអោយយើងសរសេរអក្សរយួនទៅវិញ។
Khmer language need to be romanized for easy learning and fast search in Dictionary both paper and electronic forms. Like the Chinese language...
Sean Massavang,
C'est bien triste de voir qu'un cambodgien de votre génération se lance dans la romanisation de la langue khmère. Vous êtes en train de tracer la voie vers la disparition de la culture khmère.
La Langue khmère est intimement liée à sa culture et à son histoire.
ដែលត្រូវបារម្មគឺនាងធារីផ្ដូរពិសេសទៅជាពីសេះ!
Hey ah ស៊ាន ម៉ាសាវ៉ាង!(Sean Masavang)
Even your freaking name looks and sounds so suspicious already:
Ah សាងម៉ា(មួយ)សៃវៀន?
What kind of "Ring" are you building? Cock fighting or boxing ring? Is that what you have in mind for Khmer people?
Ah សាងម៉ា(មួយ)សៃវៀន?
You cannot even write English correctly and just to make it simple for you, you cannot even write Khmer correctly.
And you think that using the word such as "United Nation Romanization, etc..." will scare Khmer or put more weight on your Viet-indoctrinated pinhead to vietnamize Khmer written language?
Think again you bonehead!!!
How can the U.N employ some ignorant idiot like you, Sean Masavang??? Did you bribe them to get the job, huh???
Ah សាងម៉ា(មួយ)សៃវៀន?
Someone lilke you, should be handed over to the firing squad for treason just as the rest of the CPP's clowns should!
I believe that if this document held strictly to the principal objective of "How to Romanize Khmer for Geographical Name" or perhaps "Proper Name", then it is serving probably a positive purpose, i.e. name of provinces. Sometime people write Khmer names in English or French text differently. For example: Battambong or Batdombong. However, the way that Mr. Sean develops this document and uses for overall Khmer writing is completely wrong and unacceptable. It is defeating the original purposes of the UNGEGN group.
Foreigners learning Chinese, Japanese, or Korea prefer reading from a romanized text first. When they are good at the pronunciation, they then learn the characters and read from the characters. Why can't Khmer language have something similar so foreigners can start to learn the language without being intimidated by the foreign looking characters.
If we were to have more foreigners speak our language and learn our culture, we must have a romanized form. No one say that we have to switch from Sansrkit to Roman characters. We should have this option .
