Khmer Romanization Table (2013)
alalc-khm-Khmr-Latn-2013 ALA-LC Khmer Romanization Table, 2013 version. Consonants carry the Indic values (k kh g gh ng c ch j jh ñ ...). A bare consonant takes the inherent vowel a (kak mak sak); the coeng subscript suppresses it and repeats the consonant value; the bantoc shortens the preceding vowel to an acute (kák). The series marks mos-soton (˝) and treysap (ʹ) romanize immediately after their consonant. Dependent vowels follow the consonant; nikahit am, reahmuk ah, and the yuukaleapintu grave per the table. Transcribed from the loc.gov document (the dependent-sign glyphs are visually corresponded to the Unicode Khmer block; the vowel-table's leading mark is table typography, not romanization).
