The .gif format Khmer Alphabet chart that I have posted is a chart I put 
together -- a cheat sheet, if you will -- showing all Khmer consonants 
and their type (khoosaq, akhoosaq); subscript consonants; vowels; 
independent vowels; diacritic symbols and their names; punctuation and 
other special characters.  In addition, the chart indicates how the 
vowels are placed in relation to the consonant they qualify; and proposes 
a simple romanization scheme based on Franklin Huffman's system (but with 
changes made to accomodate ASCII).  The modifications I have made include 
use of the letters o' and u' , characters that French missionaries used 
in the 17th century to phoneticize Vietnamese.  The u' sound is what you 
hear in the words tu'k (water) and lu'u' (top, on top); and the o'sound 
is what you hear in the words do'k (to lead; transportation) and pho'k 
(to drink).

If anybody has changes they would like to propose, or if you need help 
learning how to view this chart and other .gif images, please e-mail me.
