A Khmer Hello

Hi all, a quick 'Hello' in Khmer.
Khmer script may look unusual, but is actually quite pleasant and fluent to write!
Naomi and Nathan are learning to speak Khmer use a "Learn Khmer" DVD for the PC, this is quite fun (and available in many languages).

I have set myself the challenge to also read (and hopefully eventually) write Khmer. I did start with reading, but without knowing any words found this learning curve too frustrating. Instead I have learned to speak simple words and phrases using the PC. It is sooo much easier to read once you can speak it a little!

There is a romanised transliteration of khmer available - in fact there are a few of them.aaargh!

Romanised Hello in Khmer is:
Sues'day
