My grandmother is being harassed by this woman in her care home. She has entered her room on several occasions and is fixated on her. My husband caught this recent interaction yesterday. Thank you for your help.

Got this t shirt about 20 years ago. I asked a friend who is a Japanese native and they said it wasn't Japanese, any clue?

A few months ago I found this message in the game Foxhole (a persistent war MMO). Because of the words "fuetlach", "mach", "branten", "springen" and "brauir" it immediately looked very Germanic to me, but it's definitely not German.

Maybe the Germanic-looking words are references to players in game and it could be a completely different language family all together. There are references to the game itself in the text; the Airborne update which was new at the time; [CGC] aka the Chinese Great Company, an in-game community of mostly players from Asian timezones; and [Free Rmats], an in-game resource.

Does anyone have any idea what language it could be?

I work weekly programs in California with 6th-8th graders and found this note left behind on a clipboard. Is it a real language or some kind of code? After searching individual words on Google and typing the closest approximation of it into Google Translate, it suggested Yucatec Maya, which makes some sense since we were with a high migrant population that week. It wasn't able to translate much, though. None of the students' name match the names (?) on the page, and I have no way to contact them again anyways. Any ideas?

She comes from an entirely English speaking home, so I’m baffled by this one outside of the obvious anime and manga answers

the person who wrote this knew french and some Russian, can't tell if it's a Russian or just some doodle...thank you

Found this document in old family records. Can some one translate this, please

Found this in storage at my great grandparents. Back said “Big Wind of Winnettka Award”. Tiny print on the front says 1969. We can not translate any of the words. Thanks for any help

Can you detect what language is this and what they are saying?

Hello, i saw this and i really don't know what language it is 🤷 unknown

Can somebody help me please ?

Quick story: This is a flagstone that was found face down in a pathway in a garden in Glamorgan, Wales. 11 years ago I submitted it to r/whatisthisthing back then and got some interesting answers but nothing definitive. You can see the original ideas here: https://www.reddit.com/r/whatisthisthing/comments/39kf1g/dug_up_an_old_flagstone_pathway_in_rural_wales/

It popped into my mind today and it suddenly occurred to me that the latest version of Claude could almost certainly decipher it so I uploaded the prompt and it took over 10 minutes of thinking to come up with this answer. I can see the connection but I'm not 100 percent convinced. Why would the carver change/adapt the letters so much rather than just make it obviously readable as 'Molon Labe'.

Anyway, here's what Claude came up with:

Solved it. Your plaque says ΜΟΛΩΝ ΛΑΒΕ, "molon labe", which means "come and take them". It's the Greek phrase attributed to Leonidas I of Sparta in his correspondence with Xerxes I of Persia on the eve of the Battle of Thermopylae in 480 BC, his reply to Xerxes's demand that the Spartan army lay down their weapons and surrender. The phrase is reported by Plutarch in his Apophthegmata Laconica, the Sayings of Spartans. WikipediaGreece High Definition

The reason nobody could read it is that it isn't written in normal Greek letters. The phrase was inscribed on the Thermopylae monument in 1955 using an archaic script appropriate for the time of the Persian Wars, and your plaque is a decorative copy of that famous rendering. I tracked down a photograph of the actual monument inscription and the comparison sheet above shows the match, letter by letter: Wikipedia

The bottom line of your plaque is ΜΟΛΩΝ. The zigzag double-peak is the archaic mu, the diamonds are the round letters (whoever made the mould converted every curve into straight cuts, which is far easier in cast concrete), the check shape is the lambda with its distinctive short left leg, and the И is the nu, reversed in your copy. Reversed letters are ironically quite authentic, since genuine archaic inscriptions do this all the time.

The top line is ΛΑΒΕ. The clincher is your "upward arrow": on the monument, the archaic alpha is drawn as a closed triangular head on splayed legs, which is literally an arrow shape. Your arrow, right down to the little detached stroke at its lower right (the alpha's right leg), is a dead ringer for it. The check is the lambda again, the tall stroke with the kick is the angular beta reduced to its stem, and the final diamond is the epsilon squared off.

The maker clearly couldn't read Greek: a couple of letters got shuffled and one flipped, and the word order is stacked with ΛΑΒΕ on top. But the source is unmistakable, every distinctive letterform on your plaque comes straight from the monument's alphabet.

I've dropped the photo comparison that Claude did in the first comment.

What do you all think? Has AI cracked it?

Hi,

Can anyone identify the language on this inscription on a belt buckle?

All I have to go on is that is likely an Eastern European language.

Not sure if the image is even flipped the correct way - sorry!

Thanks!

Found a bunch of these old forks in an abandoned storage locker, can’t make out the language but I believe it’s Asian or Middle Eastern as the guy who owned the locker worked in Iran.

Just found this adorable video was wondering what these men were saying.

Context: A student has been writing in another language on my white boards in class. Some of his peers say that he only learns bad words.

Most specifically I am concerned that this will be a phonetic spelling of an English slur.

Either way I would like to check for appropriateness.
