Talk:Son Ngoc Thanh

Khmer?
I thought SNT is from Vietnam! Because I see nh. nh is only used in Vietnamese.--125.25.239.30 (talk) 04:02, 9 December 2009 (UTC) Phnom Penh, the capital of Cambodia, has an "nh" in it.


 * The article does point out he was born in Vietnam (in one of the Khmer Krom areas) and was of mixed Khmer Krom and Chinese descent. Politically he was a Khmer nationalist. Svejk74 (talk) 08:58, 9 December 2009 (UTC)


 * So it's Vietnamese name??--125.25.83.116 (talk) 17:22, 11 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Yes, I think it's a Vietnamese name. I have checked and most books state that his father was a Khmer Krom, and his mother Sino-Vietnamese. Some state that his mother was of Khmer Krom or Sino-Khmer Krom background, but either way it wouldn't be surprising if he had a Vietnamese name. Svejk74 (talk) 16:15, 12 December 2009 (UTC)
