    Khmer alphabet have most letters in the world?

    Was arguing this over with my friends awhile ago. Thai say Thai, Canton say Canton, Indian said Tamil.
    I say Khmer because they were counting vowel combinations, so which one is right answer for real?

    I saw that in the Guiness World Records also, if I can remember correctly, there are 124 characters in the Khmer alphabet.

    Mandarine or Cantonese doesn't have alphabet. They have characters.
