Khmer Word Builder

How to build

A guided character-composition tool, not a spelling checker. Speech is computer-generated.

Add a base, then a vowel, register shifter or up to two subscripts. Add subscript applies to one consonant click only. A new independent vowel always starts a base; it can then carry subscripts, including in ឲ្យ.

Delete removes the last stored component: other sign, vowel, second subscript, first subscript, register shifter, then base. Undo restores up to 200 edits, including Clear and loaded examples. Shifters replace each other; selecting the same shifter again removes it.

Phrase space adds an optional separator. Khmer words do not each need a space. This builder does not cover every Khmer sign, spelling rule, or special encoding sequence.

Try these Unicode examples. Loading one replaces the current text; Undo brings it back.

ខ → Add subscript → ញ → vowel ុំ

ស → register shifter ៊ → vowel ី

ប → register shifter ៉ → vowel ី

ស → ង → Add subscript → គ → Add subscript → រ → vowel ា → ម

independent vowel ឲ → Add subscript → យ
