Was it Indianized or Hindu?--Dangerous-Boy 10:25, 8 January 2006 (UTC)

Both. The early Chinese records report a large number of Indian Brahmins living in "the city", plus a much smaller number of Buddhists. Inscriptions are in Sanscrit. The Chinese record customs of clear Indian origin, mostly those which related to kingship and religion. PiCo 04:23, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

History

I've added some info that I've read. Cite the book in the reference.

Menam River

In Thailand Menam is the word for river, but often when talking about Menam one refers to the Chao Phraya River. As that one is the only big river when following the Mun River from its mouth beyond its source I suspect the article actually means that one. andy 16:14, 28 September 2007 (UTC)

Intro

Mm, it is now not easily read: 1) lacking of a certain number of commas, 2) very many parentheses and names of mothers and fathers. To my opinion, it'd be rather a bit simplified.. Josh, linguist (talk) 14:47, 5 October 2012 (UTC)

Sources and Encyclopedic Form

Hi! The article has lots of sections bare of any refs, which should not be a big problem to deal with. I have, however begun to remove statements that are unacceptable in WP, such as: "This reveals that the Chinese rendered themselves as the superior race or empire, and viewed early Cambodians as mere slaves or savages that exist to serve the Chinese." (formerly in section Etymology) There is neither a reference to it nor is it precisely neutral.

It's the other way around. Those sites are little more than Wikipedia mirrors (scraper site is probably more accurate). Their content comes from Wikipedia. If you scroll down to the bottom you'll see the attribution in small print:

There are all these dead footnotes, that suggest copy/paste action. here is the first one: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Chenla_Kingdom&diff=383264488&oldid=377385411 ...anyhow, i see if i can add some references. Wikirictor (talk) 17:17, 14 December 2015 (UTC)

Sorting

The content was added in 2010 by user 131.220.92.169. The ip address is of: PC.2016.RumdeKubisch.indologie.uni-bonn.de. which suggests, that a friendly person or team of the Indology department of the University of Bonn was/were so kind as to provide us with lots of detailed data. I think it might be necessary to make some alterations and concentrate on an encyclopedic plot. ATBWikirictor (talk) 17:20, 23 December 2015 (UTC)
