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]

Origin[edit]

This idea:

It is thought to be corruption of the word France but this may be a misconception

If in Khmer we say "Proteh Barang" for France, "Piasa Barang" for French language and "Chunchiet Barang" for French citizen, why the single word Barang as French, that became foreigner/western is a misconception? I would not say that it is a corruption of the word France/French/Western, but I would say that it is the Khmer word for those realities, as in Spanish we say "Francés" (not a "Spanish corruption of Français"), in Italian we say Francese, in English is Frenchman, etc... in Khmer language is Barang... --Albeiror24 - English - Español - Italiano - ខ្មែរ 07:45, 19 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
