Khmer numerals

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"(ប៉ែតមួយ) instead of the full "paet sep muoy" (ប៉ែតសិបមួយ). 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. ប្រាំមួយ = ប្រាំ+មួយ.
