Lok Neak Kampuchera, They spoke Khmer (as you can see by the writing wchich is still quite similar to the one we use today). When I was at Angkor wat I was able to read some of the inscriptions on the temple. If you are student of history you should know that Khmer is a living language like English, French, German, Spanish, etc. A living language means that the language will evolve and change over time. The only languages that do not change are called dead languages like Latin, Sanskrit, Coptic, Biblical Hebrew are considered dead languages, meaning they do not evolve and change anymore. French people today may have a hard time understanding Old French spoken in the middle age. the same can be said of the English today who would have a hard time understanding the Old English speaking during the time of King Arthur. I wish you read more and understand about the history of the world because it would help you understand our own history also.
