I copied it into Microsloth Word and noted that the font is DokChampa.  So I googled on DokChampa and learned that it is a font used to write Lao and Lao dialects.  So I posted the message to my Laotian neighbor, but haven't heard back.  Then I found a Lao dictionary online, but stopped it before it finished downloading.  I didn't see the sense in using up the disc space on something I would use only once:

My Laotian neighbor will likely reply tomorrow.  There are also a number of Lao chat sites where one could drop in and ask, but they require a login, and I decided it wasn't worth it for just one message.  Might get spammed forever from that one visit.

Besides that, my neighbor can even demonstrate the correct pronunciation.
