Please, replace all "Khom Thai or Khom Thai script" with just Khom script. The reason is simple because this variant of Khmer script is called in Laos and Thailand as Akson Khom, literally means Khmer script. This is the fact. The Khmers of Cambodia are historically using or still using it as their official script. The term Khom Thai script is a recent proposal. With this name, "Khom Thai Script" means Khmer-Thai Script??? Thai script is a different script although it was derived from old Khmer. The term Khom Thai script is causing confusion and disagreement from the Khmers as an attempt to rewrite the name of Khmer script. Better change the title of this article to "Khom Script (Variant of Khmer Script)" because this variant of Khmer script that has been used in Laos and Thailand is historically known as "Akson Khom or Khom script". If we call this Khmer script as Khom Thai Script as proposed recently, shall we create a new similar name as "Khom Lao Script" too???? since this variant of Khmer script is also used in Laos.

- @Era122: Hello. This page does not deny at all that the Khom Thai script is a Khmer script variety, the history section clearly states it is a modified version of the Khmer script. This page just refers to the Khmer script variety that developed in Thailand and was used in Thai religious texts and more. The current name in Thai is "Khom Thai" as well so I see no reason not to follow current Thai usage. Using "Khom script" will also be confusing since there is a page called Khom script (Ong Kommadam). If any Cambodians feel offended by this page, they should read it more closely, or somebody should translate the history section of this page to the Khmer version. --Glennznl (talk) 08:17, 14 December 2021 (UTC)
