Title "Khan" vs "Section"

edit

There have been page moves recently, changing name from Khan to Section. This does not sound right.

Khan has been the standard referring to a district-level of a city, not only in Phnom Penh. See the Cambodia geographical naming here Cambodia gazetteer. In most documents, including address, Khan is widely used, have not seen the use of Section.

Similarly, Sangkat has been adopted for the same level as commune of a province.

The order follows the written Khmer, with Khan/Sangkat before name (i.e. Khan Kamboul, rather than Kamboul Khan).

I suggest Khan/Sangkat should be adopted for district/commune in this context.
