KHMER NUMERALS


'Khmer numerals' are the numerals used in the Khmer language of Cambodia. In 'informal' spoken language one can ignore the last "sep" (30 to 90) and it is still understood.

e.g. you can say "paet muoy"(แž”แŸ‰แŸ‚แžแž˜แžฝแž™) instead of the full "paet sep muoy" (แž”แŸ‰แŸ‚แžแžŸแžทแž”แž˜แžฝแž™).

Note that the words for 6 through 9 imply a base-5 system at some date in the distant past.

e.g. 6 is 5+1. แž”แŸ’แžšแžถแŸ†แž˜แžฝแž™ = แž”แŸ’แžšแžถแŸ†+แž˜แžฝแž™.

Notes


1. Although แž˜แžฝแž™แž€แŸ„แžŠแŸ is most commonly used to mean ten million, in some areas this is also colloquially used to refer to one billion (which is more properly แž˜แžฝแž™แžšแž™แž€แŸ„แžŠแŸ). In order to avoid confusion, sometimes แž˜แžฝแž™แžŠแž”แŸ‹แž›แžถแž“ is used to mean ten million, แž˜แžฝแž™แžšแž™แž›แžถแž“ is used for one hundred million, and แž˜แžฝแž™แž–แžถแž“แŸ‹แž›แžถแž“ ("one thousand million") is used to mean one billion.
