<h2>Khmer Script Overview</h2>

<p>The script is an <span class="newterm"><a class="termref">abugida</a></span>, ie. like most Brahmi-influenced scripts, each consonant carries with it an inherent vowel. The sound following a consonant can be modified by attaching vowel signs to the consonant when writing.</p>
8182
<p>Glyphs constituting a single syllable can appear on any side of the base character, and multiple diacritics are often needed to create the vowel in a syllable.</p>
8283
<p>A key feature of Khmer is that there are a large number of vowel sounds, and only a few vowel signs; and there are a large number of consonant letters for only a small number of consonant sounds. This lead to a system where there are generally two consonant signs for a given sound, each belonging to one of two classes (or registers). So to determine the pronunciation of a vowel sign you start by seeing which class of consonant it follows. For example, using the two symbols for the sound <span class="ipa">k</span>, <span class="ex" lang="km">ក</span> is <span class="ipa">kɑː</span> <span class="meaning">neck</span>, and <span class="ex" lang="km">គ</span> is <span class="ipa">kɔː</span> <span class="meaning">mute</span>.</p>
8384
<p>Consonants stack in Khmer, but not always in a predictable way. Multiple consonants at the start and (sometimes) end of a syllable are usually stacked. Consonant clusters in a multisyllabic word also tend to stack. But syllable-final consonants, which can be one of a number of characters, often don't stack with the onset consonant of the next syllable.</p>

<h2>Lao Script Overview</h2>
8182
<p>Lao is an alphabet. This means that it is phonetic in nature, where each letter represents a basic sound.</p>
82-
<p>The script was originally an <span class="newterm"><a class="termref" href="https://www.unicode.org/glossary/#abugida">abugida</a></span>, but since the script reforms leading up to 1960 it has been alphabetic. The syllable is the unit for various aspects of the behaviour of the script. Lao is a tonal language, and the script is designed to reflect tonal information.</p>

The syllable is the unit for various aspects of the behaviour of the script. Lao is a tonal language, and the script is designed to reflect tonal information.</p>
8384
<p>The alphabet is split into vowels and consonants. The consonants are grouped into classes that affect the default tonal behaviour of a syllable. There are no independent vowels. Where there is no consonant to support a vowel sign, the character ອ [U+0EAD LAO LETTER O] is used as a support. Vowel signs are typically used in combinations to form the vowel sounds of a syllable.</p>
8485
<p>Words are not separated by spaces. Text runs horizontally, left to right.</p>
8586
<p><a href="https://r12a.github.io/scripts/lao/">Lao script summary</a> can be read for a high level overview of characters used for the script, and some basic features. Text from that the latter part of that page was used for the initial version of this document.</p>
