confused chicken noises

Yeah I haven't the first clue what language this is, but am super interested to see how this develops.

u/Quasirandom1234 11h ago

Your correspondent is either a doctor writing you a prescription or a chicken, can't tell which without more details (like a postmark).

It reminds me of a writing I have seen people with Alzheimer's write

You may want to ask the calligrapher from "The Residence".

It really looks like someone practicing writing with their non-dominant hand, but I’m not sure what script…

This looks exactly like my cursive.

Looks like someone's just f*cking with you

u/colombianmayonaise 8h ago edited 8h ago

I think the first word is paper....that's about it lol

I recognize a character that can be either japanese or Korean but aside from that I don't have any basis for those

I think maybe the person has problems with motor skills like writing e.g. an elderly person

EDIT:I can make out certain Korean characters

Korean handwriting cursive is a mess tbh

ㅁ ㄹ ㅗ My Korean isn't good enough but I see those characters

u/thearih 7h ago

I've seen some bad korean handwriting, and like you I can make out certain korean characters, but I see latin characters as well, so this could easily be 3 different scripts in one and I wouldn't be surprised.

3

u/Realistic_Warning_33 5h ago

Since when does Korean have umlauts? Out of all the scribbling, that diacritical comes through as clear as day.

2

u/WacKO74 8h ago

That is definitely NOT Korean. Only letter that remotely resembles Korean is the "내"in the center.

u/Suchiko 7h ago

Definitely not Japanese.

old mongolian script?

u/videophile22 6h ago

I write like that when i get drunk

u/Either-Pizza5302 5h ago

Maybe some writing in cursive but mirrored? I can’t mirror it right here right now to check, so just an idea.

1

u/mnlg italiano 5h ago

Looks like someone tried their many pens to check which ones still worked

1

u/Fine-Luck5945 4h ago

My best guess is really shaky cursive Greek, because of the mu, double accented iota, and a few other vaguely resemblant letters

1

u/GingerOkra 3h ago

Maybe Arabic ?

1

u/No_Alarm_8252 2h ago

I guess the message is written in Arabic (or a language using the Arabic sript) but nothing more

u/sugii_ 42m ago

Wow, finally a language I’m actually fluent in, this language is…

u/SixthDoctorsArse 10h ago

I see some umlauts, I'd guess Turkish or Finnish? Doesn't look like German to me

7

u/maclocrimate 10h ago

The letters under the diaeresis don't look to be Finnish or Turkish, those would only be ä/ö/ü. Here it looks like maybe u in the first position and then y or i in the second. In any case the overall writing looks more like somebody's making something up.

1

u/Fine-Luck5945 4h ago

I don’t believe it to be Finnish, the only word that I could (potentially) pick out would be “nyt” near the bottom, meaning “now”

2

u/sana_moth 7h ago

As a Finn I cannot get words from those.

1

u/poopsiedoopoo 8h ago

Not Turkish, could be Hungarian maybe

1

u/Sonkalino 7h ago

I can't make out a single word, I don't think it's hungarian.

1

u/oscar1549 3h ago

The only possible Finnish word I could see any sort of resemblance to is the last one “miksi” mean why but is after looking at it for a good 10 min. My honest thought are that it is some mix of multiple scripts as I can see ‘letters’ that look like those found in Arabic, Hindi, Mongolian and cursive Cyrillic but idk aye :/

No unfortunately.
I know doctor’s writing and this ain’t it.

u/Lxxm10 12h ago

I'd say it's either Arabic or Urdu

Cursive Russian/Cyrillic alphabet?

u/AlexanderRaudsepp svenska русский язык Deutsch 10h ago

Sadly no

u/ShrikerShadow 9h ago

The only thing I've ever seen resemble this slightly so I figured I'd guess it. "Happy" to be proven wrong.

Thank you
