    There is no such thing as "តឹសទៅស៊ុីយាយ" or let's eat Grandma as it was once alluded to in [ speaking and written] Khmer's language!!! One has to understand Khmer's language well before attempting to claim as it is a crisis with it!!! Please don't destroy Khmer before having a chance to save Khmer first!!!
