Khmer language.

The Khmer language is something I’m trying to learn. I’ve go a book on it so it should not be that hard to learn. There’s also the words and while it may take longer to learn all the words, I can learn some of them and although I may never be a fluent Khmer speaker, I can learn it as well as I’ve learned Spanish.
This is my attempt to translate my name into Khmer. I’m fairly certain the first name is right, providing the Khmer system doesn’t use silent vowels that the English language does.
