'''Khmer''' is an important language descended from [[Sanskrit]]. It is the official language of [[Cambodia]] and widely spoken by peoples in [[Vietnam]], [[Thailand]], and the [[United States]]. It is superior to other languages in southern Asia because it does not depend on pronunciation for spelling, and so a speaker in Vietnam can talk with a speaker in the United States. | '''Khmer''' is an important language descended from [[Sanskrit]].
