Khmer numerals are the numerals used in the Khmer language of Cambodia. In informal spoken language one can ignore the last "sep" (30 to 90) and it is still understood.
e.g. you can say "paet muoy"(ប៉ែតមួយ) instead of the full "paet sep muoy" (ប៉ែតសិបមួយ).
Note that the words for 6 through 9 imply a base-5 system at some date in the distant past.
e.g. 6 is 5+1. ប្រាំមួយ = ប្រាំ+មួយ.

- ^ a b Although មួយកោដ៍ is most commonly used to mean ten million, in some areas this is also colloquially used to refer to one billion (which is more properly មួយរយកោដ៍). In order to avoid confusion, sometimes មួយដប់លាន is used to mean ten million, មួយរយលាន is used for one hundred million, and មួយពាន់លាន ("one thousand million") is used to mean one billion.
