Omg, I found this on wikipedia. Its the Cham Language..
The Cham alphabet is used to write
Cham
, an Austronesian language spoken by the
Cham people
in
Vietnam
and
Cambodia
. Cham has about 230,000 speakers.
The Cham alphabet is one of the first scripts to develop from the latter southern
Brahmi alphabet
called
Vatteluttu
of
South India
, beginning by 200 AD. Like all the
Brahmic family
, it is a syllabic alphabet, and is thus classed as an "
abugida
". It is written horizontally, and left to right, as in English.
The Cham now live in two isolated groups: Western Cham in Cambodia, and Eastern Cham in Vietnam. Each uses a distinct variety of the script, although the former are mostly Muslim and now prefer to use the
Arabic alphabet
. The latter are mostly Hindu, and still use their own alphabet. During French colonial times, both groups had to use the
Latin alphabet
.
