Additional consonants

Changing consonant registers

There are not enough individual Khmer consonant letters to be able to assign a unique character for each a-class and o-class register. Khmer extends the number of letters as follows to close this gap.

Two diacritics, 17C9 and 17CA, are used to change the class of a consonant. These are particularly useful when a given sound has only one character associated with it, such as the letters ម, យ and ស etc.

+
៉␣៊
+

These diacritics appear above the base consonant or stack by default, but if another combining mark (such as a vowel sign) appears above the base (for certain consonants) the register shifter may move below the base and looks identical to 17BB (see consonant_shift_posn).

Regardless of displayed position, each of these diacritics should be typed and stored immediately after the base character, unless a ZWNJ intervenes.u,647

A small number of o-class consonants are transformed into a-class consonants by preceding them with 17A0, rather than using the above diacritics. They include the following.

The consonant clusters are written as stacks, using the coeng. See clusters.

In addition, Khmer creates syllable-initial stacks using 17A0 followed by another consonant to create sounds from other languages, or to change the register for the subjoined consonant. These combinations produce a single consonant sound, unlike the former examples, but they are handled using the normal stacking mechanism. See extendedC.

Stacking

179A produces a subjoined form that wraps to the left and under the preceding consonant. Several others wrap below and to the right of the consonant. 17A1 doesn't normally appear in subscript form.

Where the two consonants involved in the cluster are in different classes or registers, the pronunciation of any following vowel is normally determined by the register of the subscript consonant. For the following exceptions, however, the vowel pronunciation is determined by the register of the first consonant (all o-class):

Some subscripts change the sound of the preceding consonant.

Stacks commonly occur in multisyllabic words. A medial cluster will typically contain a final consonant for the first syllable and the initial consonant of the next syllable.
