The Khmer or Khmer is one of the most important cultures developed in Indochina. At the beginning of the 7th century, the first inscriptions in their language appear in the Indian kingdom of Tshenla, located in the middle course of the Mekong River. The Khmer reorganized politically, and in the 9th century reached the unity of present-day Cambodia under the reign of Jayavarman II (802-850), founder of the kingdom of Angkor.
