Cambodia B‑class Top‑importance

Angkor is part of WikiProject Cambodia, a project to improve all Cambodia-related articles.

Cambodia To-do:

Let us work in the best reference and presentation of archaeological sites of Cambodia beyond Angkor like Sambor Prei Kuk, Angkor Borei (Takeo), etc.

Should disambiguate Republican Party for Democracy and Renewal and generally try to link up social conscience with right-wing values.

I'm looking for the best picture or any informations about the KAF's U-6 (Beaver). It seem that the KAF had 3 aircrafts. But in 1971, during the viet cong's sapper attack at the Pochentong Air Base,at least 1 Beaver was destroyed.In 1972 at leat 1 Beaver was refurbished with a new engine. http://www.khmerairforce.com/AAK-KAF/AVNK-AAK-KAF/Cambodia-Beaver-KAF.JPG

Thankfull for this info. [Unsigned]

Please give Angkor Wat & Angkor Thom in Khmer.

As far as I know, there is no current Unicode standard for Khmer, as the Cambodian government rejected the proposed encoding - effectively keeping their script offline for another few years. You can enter Khmer against the proposed standard but last time I tried I could not find a font which worked correctly. --prat 21:17, 2004 Feb 28 (UTC)

This is incorrect. Unicode encodes Khmer at U+1780 to U+17FF. See [1]. Certainly various people are whining about the standard, but it is still a standard, and the complaints only started after it had been approved. Morwen 21:21, Feb 28, 2004 (UTC)

Sure you can input it, but my (unclear) point was you can't always look at it! --prat 04:56, 2004 Feb 29 (UTC)

Question

When I saw in the opening paragraph that the name Angkor is a name of Sanskrit origin, I was intrigued and surprised that there was no explanation as to why a Sumerian language influenced the name of a monument in Cambodia. At first I thought that it had been named a Sanskrit name by some archeologist in the 20th century. Then after a little research, I found that the Sumerians themselves influenced this area.

There should be a section dedicated to the name of this site because the name itself is EXTREMELY interesting.

The term "Angkor" is derived from the Sanskrit word "nagara," meaning capital city, and that the term Angkor itself is a "cultural artifact" revealing its long history marked by both phonetic and semantic evolution. Source: http://www.autoriteapsara.org/en/angkor/term_angkor.html

This fascinating fact needs to be stated! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.131.96.197 (talk) 15:48, 7 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Assessment

A beautiful start, though I'm not sure how complete this is. It would be good, I think, to provide a short summary of the architectural styles and significances of the sites, in addition to just providing a link to the deeper article. LordAmeth 14:39, 9 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

War with the Thai

Somebody has written that some historians believe the Thai found Angkor devastated by an "infestation" as opposed to conquering it. I have not heard this theory. Somebody should support it with a footnote citing sources, or the paragraph advancing the theory should be deleted. DoktorMax (talk) 04:41, 20 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Javanese designed Angkor

More information required especially on the Javanese influence, design and perhaps funding of the Angkor complex, is required. Jayavarman 2 spent his early years as a hostage prince in the court of Majapahit in Java. He was sent to Camdoia to establish a new Javanese colony- but instead rebelled- which lead to his military defeat and the sacking of his cities by the Javanese. Angkor Wat was also designed and supervised by Javanese architects, a scaled-up model of Prambanan. three are several insciptijs on Ankor which give thanks and tribute to the Javanese architects.Starstylers (talk) 13:18, 9 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
