List of Khmer words of Chinese origin

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Multiple good reasons: 1) all original research, no sources 2) of all the languages influencing Khmer, Chinese probably had the least influence...all of the words in the list are merely transliterations of Proper Nouns (given names or surnames), or names for specifically Chinese things, not organic borrowings or loanwords per se. They aren't "Khmer words", they are still recognized as being Chinese. The only words on this list that are actual borrowings that replaced native words are the numbers, but they were borrowed from Thai (which ultimately did borrow them from Chinese, but they were borrowed into Khmer after they were fully "Thai-ified"), making this list meaningless William Thweatt TalkContribs 10:07, 12 October 2015 (UTC)

 * Delete per WP:TNT. While, in theory, such an article or list could be created, as written it has no way to source: it's pure WP:OR. Bearian (talk) 00:27, 21 October 2015 (UTC)
