Cambodia To-do:

Let us work in the best reference and presentation of archaeological sites of Cambodia beyond Angkor like Sambor Prei Kuk, Angkor Borei (Takeo), etc.

Should disambiguate Republican Party for Democracy and Renewal and generally try to link up social conscience with right-wing values.

I'm looking for the best picture or any informations about the KAF's U-6 (Beaver). It seem that the KAF had 3 aircrafts. But in 1971, during the viet cong's sapper attack at the Pochentong Air Base,at least 1 Beaver was destroyed.In 1972 at leat 1 Beaver was refurbished with a new engine. http://www.khmerairforce.com/AAK-KAF/AVNK-AAK-KAF/Cambodia-Beaver-KAF.JPG

Comments from LING 1100-108 Project[edit]

Ryan-great background information on the language, including the origin and development.
Possible suggestions for additional editing: Could add more on the structure of the writing system and how it works, possibly provide examples. Also, more in text citations may be needed. Mmg86 (talk) 01:11, 20 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Two main points:

There is a good amount of information, but the article lacks cohesiveness and structure. Consider breaking the article up into discrete sections. Above the table of contents should be a brief summary, then individual sections should be placed below, such as Orgins, and Usage.
More information is needed about the actual structure and mechanics of the language. What and how many consonants are there? Which vowels can be used? What is the inherent vowel of each syllable (If there is one)? How are independent vowels written, or consonant cluster? etc... Consider adding a table describing the sounds that each character makes. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Devanagari#Letters

totally not virama[edit]

Cham does not employ a virama to suppress vowels. ...

That extension of the end stroke sure looks like its ancestor was a virama! —Tamfang (talk) 06:38, 3 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Eastern Cham[edit]

There are two modern Cham scripts: Eastern Cham used in Vietnam and Western Cham used in Cambodia. The key parts of this article specifically discuss Eastern Cham. It may be better to either update the article to discuss both scripts or change the title of the article to reflect it is discussing the Eastern Cham script.
