Title: can anyone translate this?
Post by: GrinningYMIR on July 07, 2015, 09:07:25 PM
Can ANYONE translate this POS? MY friend sent it to me and she's teasing me with it. Can anyone even identify it?

Hrm.  Though it was Cherokee, and it has some characters in common, but it has a lot that aren't.  Have you tried a frequency analysis?

If it's a simple substitution code, only two characters appear alone, which suggests (assuming both a straight one-to-one mapping and that it's encoded English) they would be 'A' and 'I'.  If some of the characters stand for sounds (th, sh, ch -- for which there is no single character in English) it becomes more complicated, but it also offers an immediate nominee for the word 'the', as there's a digraph that appears thrice.

It resembles Armenian, but it's not. My guess is that it's a simple substitution cipher. On the 3rd line is a word that starts with two of the same letter. In English (with rare exception), that means it's likely an E or an O. Maybe "oops", since "eels" is unlikely.

And it's not Shavian either; that looks more like the standard Western alphabet.  I've been poking around Omniglot (http://www.omniglot.com) and haven't found it yet.  It is an interesting puzzle, yes.

I dont know but it does have omegas in it. So relation to Ancient Greek? Armenian alphabet was created by the man who created the Gregorian Alphabet, Mesrop Mashtots, which was based off of Ancient Greek.

I notice the paragraph starts with a 2. -- was there a first paragraph, in the same character set?

Is that some sort of Sanskrit?

Or could it be a personal alphabet code? I had two by the time I was 13. One was easy pretty much the replicate of my mother language in different symbols, other was more complicated with only singular signs to certain words, diferent amount of letters to certain voices -mixing it from other real languages that I know of a few sound- so it wouldn't be solved easily.

Why not? Designing an alphabet is a really fun thing to do. A lot of people do it.

That's the thing - if it's just another alphabet, even if it has more letters to represent diphthongal sounds, should still be amenable to frequency analysis.  It's hard to do with a graphic file; I'm going to need to hand-copy the individual characters to get a frequency chart since it's an image and not a font.  Of course, if we had the font, we'd have the direct mapping (unless they were deliberately jiggered around).

Agreed. It looks difficult though.

May be she left some hints? Any kind of. I mean, you don't leave a message if you really don't want it to be understood at some point. There must be something. Otherwise, it is silly.

I've seen that. That's not it. I don't think it's related to Futhark kind of things.
