I wonder why it thinks I understand this language, but I guess I have to select the cars

It seems like it's Mongolian, if that helps you figure it out at all

Is it? I figured Russian or Ukrainian, with the first part of the word being avto or auto something. I really should learn cyrillic lol

[–] boonhet@sopuli.xyz 2 points 3 months ago

Oh it's avtomashin. Definitely sounds like a slavic language to me

[–] Skua@kbin.earth 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I'm basing that on just transcribing the text and putting it into google translate with "detect language" turned on. That said I also assumed it'd be a Slavic language too, but I don't think any of them use the ү character that's in the second word on the second line, whereas Mongolian, other Mongolic languages, and Turkic languages often do when written in Cyrillic. The first word is "avtomashin", but Mongolian got that word from Russian

Edit: transcriptions

Автомашин

тай бүх зургийг сонгоно уу

Roughly Romanised, just using Wiktionary's versions (I do not know how to pronounce any of this myself)

Avtomašína

Tai büx zurgiig songono uu

Assuming I've got that right, it's quite definitely not Slavic

And then the machine translation from Mongolian
