I am learning Khmer (pronounced Ku-my). So far, I can exchange pleasantries, ask about the toilet, and swear. What? Like you aren't curious?
My accent is atrocious and is sure to be a source of amusement for the locals. The sounds of the language are similar to Thai. They shove incompatible consonants together like dt or pb. Some of the words are the same in Thai: teacher = khru, food = ah haan, help = chuy.
This is the Khmer alphabet. They don't use periods, and the end of a sentence is indicated by space.
Are you confused yet? Yeah, me too. I'm going to stick with speaking Khmer for now.
