I've started the article. The values are based on Cambodian System of Reading and Writing by Huffman and the data published on SEALANG online Khmer dictionary.Supanorchey (talk) 00:52, 14 August 2010 (UTC)Reply

Unnecessary notes

edit

I am taking attention to reducing the number of footnotes in some of these IPA for X pages. These pronunciation keys are designed primarily for readers wanting to understand the language-specific IPA transcriptions they encounter in Wikipedia articles. We shouldn't swamp them with irrelevant details. Because this information may still be pertinent to the project, I have duplicated the notes below rather than try to find a place for them. This is irrespective of whether I think these claims are true or whether they are sourced. I will leave it to other editors to move the information to the appropriate article space or check that it already is. — Ƶ§œš¹ [ãːɱ ˈfɹ̠ˤʷɪ̃ə̃nlɪ] 00:23, 29 December 2011 (UTC)Reply
