Err can someone tell me what language is that ?
 
Or is it some form of code ? If anyone knows, thank you to answer seriously. This document mention the name of my father who fled in South America in 95 and "disapeared" since and I'm looking for him or any clue to bring him to justice. Thank you.

the university of bayreuth does teach swahili, haus and bambara, so i'd guess its one of these

M_O_DJerry 2nd Jul 2003 06:55 AM

Very strange. A lot of english vocabularies.
Are you shure that it's a real language? It looks encrypted.

For example: "Sales. Illing week. Colombo the haskett. Series. Dachala" doesn't make real sense to me.

Next example:"Porsche starred jump the jeunechamp ponhele and birgit."
Ponhele is the former National Union of Namibian Workers president.
Really weird.
Looks like a code. Maybe you ask some official at the University of Bayreuth if they know something about it.

So? Dutch looks and sounds like scrambled German.

Freon 2nd Jul 2003 07:13 AM

look on this page, it links to the "weird" section of the site:
http://ai1.inf.uni-bayreuth.de/mitarbeiter/eisenhardt

scroll down and select the void at the end of the page, it's hidden (white text on white background) :eek:

fist_mlrs 2nd Jul 2003 07:18 AM

now it becomes freaky :con:

MP_Lord_Kee 2nd Jul 2003 07:19 AM

Nicely spotted Freon...
Well, for the past 20 mins I have tried to figure out what bloody language that is..and sofar no luck. Most likely it is some sort of code as already suggested...or just nonsense..to drive people mad or something..
Well, atleast I'm not bored right now :)

Freon 2nd Jul 2003 07:27 AM

mad you should mail this dude. the

according to that this site (http://btn1x7.inf.uni-bayreuth.de/) hosts a database, maybe it's just a funky thing he put up when he was bored :confused:
anyway, if you have SQLPlus you can connect to it:
Code:

dburl = "jdbc:oracle:thin:@btn1x7.inf.uni-bayreuth.de:1521:btn1x7"
dbuser = "vwa"
dbpasswd = "vwa"

I searched google for "Conthi Waterschei Initiatav" and found the site.
Now all I have to do is search for different languages in google and see which one turns up...

edit:
bah, that didn't work

Vega-don 2nd Jul 2003 07:35 AM

thats realy strange :eek:

MP_Lord_Kee 2nd Jul 2003 07:35 AM

Actually, I think it could be hausa, english based pidgin language spoken Nigeria..or some other pidgin language...damned, gotta work so can't pursue this further..

This is really weird. At first I thought the code was just several different languages mixed into one, but a lot of the English words are misspelled. It definitely doesn't seem like one regular language.

I'd get in touch with someone who has worked on crypted messages before.

Vega-don 2nd Jul 2003 07:37 AM

true, a lot of africans languages are derivated from french or english.
for exemple a friend explained me the "douala" in cameroon .

das_ben 2nd Jul 2003 07:38 AM

The links at the ending of each page also looks suspicious.

Rostam 2nd Jul 2003 07:39 AM

I searched for south african languages, the results:

History
The Vatsonga people came to South Africa long after most other African people. Settled in the Limpopo River valley. Xitsonga is spoken in Southern Mozambique, the Northern Province of the Republic of South Africa and South Eastern Zimbabwe.
Edit3: DEFINATELY NOT XITSONGA.
The languages that surely aren't used in that article are marked italic.
One thought though, when I speak with my mother in Farsi I will say a Dutch word when I don't know it in Farsi. Maybe this is the same, English except for some words?

das_ben 2nd Jul 2003 07:42 AM

Found an English-to-Hausa translator.

I suggest translating some simple English words and checking [with something like Notepad's word search] whether they appear in the texts.

Just searched for it, looks very different.

Man this is better than X-Files at their prime.

Freon 2nd Jul 2003 07:44 AM

give up guys ;) these pages are randomly generated from what is put in the URL:
htt p://btn1x7.inf.uni-bayreuth.de/inf_rullz/666/42/freon_is_1337.html

it's probably something used in the lesson this dude gives: Information Retrieval

das_ben 2nd Jul 2003 07:45 AM

Ah damnit. You just had to ruin it. ;)

Rostam 2nd Jul 2003 07:46 AM

Freon, wouldn't that only prove that it is in fact encrypted? :)

edit:
Madwoffen, how the hell did you find that site?
