- mrhappyunhappy 8y agoCare to summarize for those not able to watch a video?
- anotheryou 8y ago[SPOILER] He makes very reasonable guesses on the typography and than on the languages mixed in. He further backs it with some cultural aspects and comes to the conclution that it's probably related to sinti/roma, as their migration route matches the mix of languages.
- mrhappyunhappy 8y agoThank you.

- gerbilly 8y agoObviously it's unfinished work, but my critique of it would be that so far, he has only attempted to identify individual words. To really be successful, he has to start looking for syntax and grammar in the text. He admits he's not an expert in the language he has deduced the manuscript is written in. Maybe somebody else who is an expert in that family of languages needs to pick it up from here.
