What is khmer numbers?

Khmer numbers are a system of numerals used in the Khmer language, which is widely spoken in Cambodia and other Southeast Asian countries. The Khmer number system is a decimal system, meaning that it consists of ten numerals, ranging from 0 to 9, which can be combined in different combinations to represent larger numbers. The Khmer numerals are derived from the ancient Khmer script, which was used to write the Khmer language from the 7th to the 15th centuries. Today, the Khmer number system is commonly used in Cambodia for day-to-day transactions and in official documents such as bank notes and legal papers. Like many other numeral systems, Khmer numbers also have special symbols and rules of usage to allow for easier reading and understanding.
