=== Khmer calendar === Different from the Hindu calendar, the Khmer calendar consists of both a lunar calendar and a solar calendar. The solar is used more commonly than the lunar calendar. {|class="wikitable" |- !scope="col" colspan="4"| Gregorian month !scope="col" rowspan="2"| Meaning !scope="col" rowspan="2"| Zodiac sign |- !scope="col"| English !scope="col"| Khmer !scope="col"| UNGEGN !scope="col"| ALA-LC |- | January || មករា || Môkâréa || Makarā || មករ (UNGEGN: ''môkâr'', ALA-LC: ''makar''); "naga" |[[Capricorn (astrology)|Capricorn]] |- | February || កុម្ភៈ || Kŏmpheă || Kumbhà || ក្អម (UNGEGN: ''k'âm'', ALA-LC: ''kʿʹam''); "clay pitcher" |[[Aquarius (astrology)|Aquarius]] |- | March || មិនា/មីនា || Mĭnéa/Minéa || Minā/Mīnā || ត្រី (UNGEGN: ''trei'', ALA-LC: trī); "fish" or "three/third" |[[Pisces (astrology)|Pisces]] |- | April || មេសា || Mésa || Mesā || ចៀម (UNGEGN: ''chiĕm'', ALA-LC: ''ciam''); "sheep" |[[Aries (astrology)|Aries]] |- | May || ឧសភា || Ŭsâphéa || Usabhā || គោឈ្មោល (UNGEGN: ''koŭ chhmoŭl'', ALA-LC: ''go jhmol''); "bull" |[[Taurus (astrology)|Taurus]] |- | June || មិថុនា || Mĭthŏnéa || Mithunā || គូ (UNGEGN: ''ku'', ALA-LC: ''gū''); "couple" |[[Gemini (astrology)|Gemini]] |- | July || កក្កដា || Kâkkâda || Kakkaṭā || ក្ដាម (UNGEGN: ''kdam'', ALA-LC: ''kṭām''); "crab" |[[Cancer (astrology)|Cancer]] |- | August || សីហា || Seiha || Sīhā || សីហៈ (UNGEGN: ''seihă'', ALA-LC: ''sīhà''); "lion" |[[Leo (astrology)|Leo]] |- | September || កញ្ញា || Kânhnhéa || Kaññā || ក្រមុំ (UNGEGN: ''krâmŭm'', ALA-LC: ''kramuṃ''); "maiden" |[[Virgo (astrology)|Virgo]] |- | October || តុលា || Tŏléa || Tulā || ជញ្ជីង (UNGEGN: ''chônhching'', ALA-LC: ''jañjīng''); "scales" |[[Libra (astrology)|Libra]] |- | November || វិច្ឆិកា || Vĭchchhĕka || Vicchikā || ខ្ទួយ (UNGEGN: ''khtuŏy'', ALA-LC: ''khtuay''); "scorpion" |[[Scorpio (astrology)|Scorpio]] |- | December || ធ្នូ || Thnu || Dhnū || ធ្នូ (UNGEGN: ''thnu'', ALA-LC: ''dhnū''); "bow", "arc" |[[Sagittarius (astrology)|Sagittarius]] |} The Khmer lunar calendar most often contains 12 months; however, the eighth month is repeated (as a "leap month") every two or three years, making 13 months instead of 12.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Khmer Chankeate Calendar |url=http://www.cam-cc.org/calendar/chhankitek.php |access-date=8 August 2018 |website=Cambodian Coordinating Council}}</ref> Each lunar month has 29 or 30 days. The year normally has then 354 or 384 days (when an intercalary month is added), but the calendar follows the rules of the Gregorian calendar to determine leap years and add a lead day to one month, so the Khmer lunar year may have a total of 354, 355, 384 or 385 days. {|class="wikitable" |- !scope="col" rowspan="2"| No. !scope="col" colspan="3"| Khmer month |- !scope="col"| Khmer !scope="col"| UNGEGN !scope="col"| ALA-LC |- | 1 || មិគសិរ || Mĭkôsĕr || Migasir |- | 2 || បុស្ស || Bŏss || Puss |- | 3 || មាឃ || Méakh || Māgh |- | 4 || ផល្គុន || Phâlkŭn || Phalgun |- | 5 || ចេត្រ || Chétr || Cetr |- | 6 || វិសាខ/ពិសាខ || Vĭsakh/Pĭsakh || Visākh/Bisākh |- | 7 || ជេស្ឋ || Chésth || Jesṭh |- | 8<br /> (8a, 8b) || ឤសាឍ<br />(បឋមសាឍ, ទុតិយាសាឍ) || Asath<br />(Bâthâmôsath, Tŭtĕyéasath) || ʿʹāsāḍh (Paṭhamasāḍh, Dutiyāsāḍh) |- | 9 || ស្រាពណ៍ || Srapôn || Srābaṇ ̊ |- | 10 || ភទ្របទ || Phôtrôbât || Bhadrapad |- | 11 || អស្សុជ || Âssŏch || ʿʹassuj |- | 12 || កត្តិក || Kâtdĕk || Katṭik |}
