Khmer Transliteration (reply to query)

[navako]

I received a question from someone on the list as to a well-working system
of Khmer transliteration.  At that time I could only refer to the one found
in the appendix to Huffman & Proum's _Cambodian System of Writing_ (now
available as a free etext) --but, four months later, I have stumbled upon
the set of references below.  I hope this will be more useful, and I hope
this will reach the author of the original question, as I did not keep a
copy of his e-mail.

An excellent Khmer script transliteration scheme is described on pages 96-98
in the book ALA-LC Romanization Tables: Transliteration Schemes for
Non-Roman Scripts/approved by the Library of Congress and the American
Library Association; tables compiled and edited by Randall K. Barry. Library
of Congress: Cataloging Distribution Service, 1997 Edition. ISBN
0-8444-0940-5 (pbk. only). (Dewey: P226.A4 1997 or LOC card number
97-012740). This is largely reversible (except for ambiguity with
independent vowels/dependent vowels and base characters/their matching
subscripts). In addition to the Latin alphabet it uses a scheme of upper and
lower diacritics and a few spacing signs. Maurice is presently working on a
Graphite font which has an optional feature to display Khmer Unicode text in
this transliteration scheme. The mapping of Unicode characters to the US
MARC encoding can be found at:
