No, no.
I did have a bizarrely similar (to the original poster's) accident about four years ago, in which I slipped over a cookie and somehow twisted my ankle so far that it broke

Re: Guess the Language, anyone?
Be more specific - that term is a little ambiguous, and those ambiguities come into play here in particular.

Re: Guess the Language, anyone?
Is it a Papuan language from Papua New Guinea? Then if so, from New Ireland or Bougainville Islands?

It is not a language from Papua New Guinea.

From South America or Central America?
If not, then it could be Dani.

It is neither from the Americas nor from West Papua.

Re: Guess the Language, anyone?
I think it's a Dravidian language then?

It is neither Japhug nor a Dravidian language.

Re: Guess the Language, anyone?
Birdlang, you clearly don't know what any of the languages you've listed look like.
Anyway, is it spoken in Indonesia?

Oh, sure, you creeps! Wait till my computer dies and I take a couple weeks away from reality the web, and then start tossing out Mongolian & Tungusic samples... ;p

Is it from Malaysia? If so, then Biatah Bidayuh? Which I am pretty sure it is not.

Re: Guess the Language, anyone?
As far as I know, none of the rGyalrongic languages are written. Though I think I've seen some reference to ad-hoc orthographies in Tibetan.Birdlang wrote:All but Japhug.

Re: Guess the Language, anyone?
Is it your conlang? A transliteration of the Voynich manuscript?
I think you can reveal the answer, because it's been 2 weeks.

I imagine this phrase like, meant something. Why would you continue to guess languages that are nowhere near PNG if she said this?Nesescosac wrote:Be more specific - that term is a little ambiguous, and those ambiguities come into play here in particular.
Re: Guess the Language, anyone?
I feel like thanks to hints given I know what parts of what language family to try finding this one in, but my entire library in that area was electronic and sitting on a hard drive in a repair shop right now. And I really don't want to do the 20 Questions game. Maybe we should think about wrapping this one up in a little while and trying a different one?

Re: Guess the Language, anyone?
GUYS!!! I've caught onto something. In the example, there is the word:
My guess is, is it from the East Geelvink Bay family? If so, Bauzi?
This made me think: "Okay, maybe it's speaking of Dutch?" So I did some research and based on what Nesescosac has said, the Dutch East India Company was in Papua, Indonesia. So why don't we look at ethnic groups from that region???Nesescosac wrote:Pa manyighala, lo mapaghana rughu zuizu. Zu pa daki mapa ko ghajia manyighala palei. Tegho, ko tuvila patu, pa suana bazu.

Re: Guess the Language, anyone?
Ah, fuck, I was gonna wrap this up a long time ago but I forgot. I'm sorry! It's Savosavo, a non-Austronesian language of the Solomon Islands.
Nannalu had a clever guess - maybe she can take the next round?
Haha, yeah, I was a little confused why people were venturing so far away from Papua too. I meant by this that often non-Austronesian languages of the region are often called "Papuan languages", but that term can be a little misleading for those languages that are not Austronesian but are nonetheless not spoken on Papua.Theta wrote:I imagine this phrase like, meant something.
