Notes

1. ^ The stops /p, t, c, k/ have no audible release when occurring as syllable finals, as in Cantonese
2. ^ ^{a b} Khmer consonants belong to two classes that dictate the value of dependent vowels.
3. ^ ^{a b c d e f g h} Can be changed to 1st series by stacking a ហ above the subscript form. See here for further details.
4. ^ ^{a b c d e} never occurs at the end of words
5. ^ ត is used by orthographic convention to represent ɗ in disyllabic words whose underlying form is spelled with ត or ថ as opposed to derivatives of bases spelled with ដ, which keep the original ដ for ɗ.
6. ^ in certain words of Pali or Sanskrit origin
7. ^ final រ is silent (not transcribed) in central dialects of Cambodia and Vietnam, represents a trill in Northern Khmer dialects of Thailand
8. ^ ^{a b} before palatals
