Talk:高棉

This may be more complicated - s:zh:出使英法義比四國日記/卷1:

柬埔寨國，土音轉為金波乍國，又因金波之音轉為金邊國。或曰：該國建都金邊埠，國其俗尚佛教，多建高塔，飾之以金，故又名金塔國，亦曰甘孛智國，實即古之真臘國也。又因地產棉花，土名高棉國，而地圖或遂訛寫為高蠻國。由西貢至柬埔寨，輪船二日程，由柬埔寨至暹羅，輪船四日程。

Hi Frank. Pls change the entry as you see fit. I made a quick entry based on the dictionary I've got and made some assumptions about the etymology. I wonder if it was borrowed via Thai.--Anatoli T. ^{(обсудить}/^вклад) 21:55, 30 November 2016 (UTC)
