Wow... 30, 40, 50, etc. sound like Thai (and therefore like Chinese) numerals! And zero (soun) is like Thai (suun) and Hindi (sunya).

I'm going to Cambodia for 6 weeks, and this video was very helpful. I love the disclaimer at the end about not understanding everything at first - it made me feel good :)

No problem there, FinalDynasty. There are more than one way to say the name of numbers. Consider: 10,000=dop pon or Mouy Mern; 100,000=Mouy roy pon or Mouy Sen. Similarly in English, 1800=1 thousand 8 hundreds, or 18 hundreds.

thanks KCAASE

Hello, FinalDynasty,
One billion is written out as follows:
1,000,000,000
Therefore, in Khmer you can say a billion as Mouy pon leen. I am sure there is Sanskrit derived name for the numberal, but I have always heard Cambodian officials say large numbers based on a million. Hope this helps.

khmer is like hindhi alphabet

yeah, it's obviously been influenced by Cantonese or something close to Cantonese (or maybe Cantonese was influenced by Khmer?) Thai numbers are also very close to Cantonese, and a lot of Vietnamese words are almost the same as Cantonese- all these languages are Austroasiatic (though Thai is now considered part of a seperate Tai-Kadai branch), not like Cantonese and other Chinese dialects, which are sinitic- but seemingly all languages spoken near China have borrowed vocabulary from Chinese.

lol ok i'm familiar with the numbers at least, i was lost with the alphabet didn't sound like khmer imo. You speak proper Khmer, I have Phnom Penh accent. When u start approaching #'s 30,40, 70,80, and 90, it sounds exactly like Cantonese Chinese numbers.

how do you say one billion? i dont think i ever heard of it. if you know can you please reply?

Good job with the video! It could be helpful with (for english speakers at least) to include the arabic numerals (1, 2, 3, ) in the video presentation with the Khmer numerals. This would help me in learning at least. I find your videos very helpful!! Keep up the good work!
