that seems to be two words... are you sure it is the word for garden?
No. I simply googled Cambodian translation and then searched it for garden. (which is what you should have done).
It had the Khmer script and the latinate equivelant.

I have done the same and it resulted in conflicting translations, this one was one of them, but another one in khmer script ended in "Ln" or in "L*n" I really could not understand how to completly transliterate the word... Another translation I found was "Suarn Jbahr"... According to wikipedia different dialects pronounce the same words differently... I prefer the Applied IPA, Service Géographique Khmer or UNGEGN systems for Romanization... or the romanization of a native khmer speaker from Pursat or Phnom Penh (as long as the native speaker is proficient in English and/or Spanish and uses their approach to the latin alphabet for the romanization)...
Furthermore I doubt that a word like "garden" can translate to two words and the gap between them makes them seem to be two words... (both in your example and in Suarn Jbahr)
Park = /sʔɑn/
Garden = /sʔɑn cɓaːr/
The second part of the word means landscape (arranged landscape).
Thanks Loxia... But, that is not our alphabet, I mean there is an interrogation sign between the "san" and an a colon and a false "b" between the "car" so... do you know how it is?
Khmer word for Garden!
