What language is this?

Question

Пушкинді даладан єкелген кім
And what is it mean?

I think It's Azeri, Cay it be that?

Answer 1

There are two keys to knowing what language this is.

1) The letter i. This letter is not in Russian, but it IS in some versions of the Cyrillic alphabet, namely, in Belarusian, Ukrainian, Komi, and Kazakh. It is not used for Azeri or Uzbek.

2) The first letter of the third word, however, is problematic since none of these languages uses such a letter except in reversed form. Ukrainian uses a similar letter, but not exactly this. The reversed epsilon represents a 'z' in all the languages, however and the sequence zk at the beginning of a word is unnatural in all four of the candidate languages. The 'je' that the similar letter in Ukrainian represents makes more phonetic sense. None of the other three languages uses this letter that Ukrainian does.

Therefore, by a process of elimination based on the alphabet used, it is most likely to be Ukrainian. I don't speak Ukrainian, though, sorry.

Answer 2

It's definitely NOT Greek! This language is written in the cyrillic alphabet, so it's likely to be a language spoken in some of the former Soviet Union countries. I don't know exactly which language this is, but I don't think it's Ukrainan though.

I made a search on yahoo using those words and most of the websites that come up are from Kazakhstan, so I guess it's Kazakh. I can't guarantee it though, I don't speak it myself.

Answer 3

It's Kazakhstani, the original language of the people of Kazakhstan, the 9th largest country by land mass. Although this native New Yorker is fluent in spoken Cantonese and written Chinese, I am completely clueless in regards to Kazakhstani.

Coincidentally I just met a distant cousin in California who returned recently from mission work in Kazakhstan. (No preaching, just teaching English to the Islamists. Thank GOD.) All people should have an opportunity to preserve their heritage.

Answer 4

It is good that you don't have to blindly believe in what some say. It is obviously not Greek (even if "It DOES seem Greek to them") and it is not Russian (even if they "are so sorry that they don't read it").
I doubt it is Azerbaijani. In the word Пушкинді you have "и" and "і" in the same word. This is not consistent. Okay, Azerbaijani was written in Latin characters and then in Cyrillic ones. But... not mixed (as in this case). This also eliminates Uzbek as a possibility.
I'd say it is Ukrainian.

It can't be Belarussian, as it has no letter и.

Answer 5

It's not Greek. It's Russian or another language that uses that alphabet.

It looks like it says "Puchkindi dalyadan ekelygen kim." I have no idea what that means.

Answer 6

It is Uzbek, the language of Uzbekistan, written with Cyrillic letters. In modern Uzbekistan the Roman alphabet is now used. That is one of the good things which has happened since the former Soviet Union no longer dominates the region.

Answer 7

Hi there...Here's the Azeri characters look like so that could be a good guess...http://www.geocities.com/click2speak/unicode/chars_az.html. Although my friend who is Russian says this looks Turk to her.

Answer 9

ok i saw some answers. some say Greek or Russian, but its not Greek or Russian. well it has the Russian letters. but its not Russian. but i guess its the language from one old USSR country.

Answer 10

Sounds me like Turkish, but why is written with Cyrillic letters?!
Maybe that is from country between Turkey and Russia.
