Are you interested in reading Khmer newspapers or magazines? If so, email me and have $3.25 USD for shipping and handling cost. And I'll send the newspaper or magazine. Offer good while supplies last.

Khmer letters are written in two major scripts; the slanted script and the rounded script.
The slanted script is commonly used for writing. The rounded script is for public signs, headings, titles of books, newspapers and magazines. The only literature I've seen that was written totally in the rounded script was a Buddhaist doctrine; with all the sacred texts.
The rounded script is a special script and it should not be over used. Use rounded script sparely.
If you look below at the slanted script and the rounded script, you'll see that most of the script are basically the same except for some that are really different.


gar kar gor kor ngor jar char jor chor nyor
dar tar dor too nar dtar tar dtor tour nor
bar par bpor por mor yor ror lor wor sar

Below are the consonants that are different when written in different scripts. [ngor-jor-dar-dtor-wor]
ngor jor dar dtor nor wor
