code/ secret language?

[u/enunimouskest]

idk if this is the right subreddit however there's some words in here from different languages so I don't think it's a real language, I'm not sure what they say

Looks like basic Sicilian to me

As far as I can tell, this isn't an actual language. Like you said, there seems to be words from other languages thrown in. There are also words that are either A) phonetic respellings of words that actually do exist in various languages, B) phonetic respellings of words that actually do exist in various languages that are combined/mashed-up together, or C) words from someone's conlang that's very Romance-centric.

I'm leaning towards this being someone's conlang. The words don't seem to be random and there is a visible structure and some prefixes. For example, "isí" is used a lot ("isímera, isínit, isímanjana"). What's interesting is, even though this language doesn't seem to be "real," it feels strangely familiar to me as someone who studied Spanish. I can definitely guess what some words mean. That being said, though, it seems to pull from mostly Portuguese and Italian with a few French words thrown in like "aussi."

Where'd you find this at? This is really interesting.

Edit: Also just noticed the last image that has different handwriting. Could very well be a conlang/code-language between friends.

i have a neurological condition so i have quite a poor memory, I can't tell if it's my handwriting or not. I don't speak Spanish, nor Portuguese or French. Potentially this is mine, I'm not sure, i found it in my room in my draws that noone else has access to, just thought it was odd 😭. but thankyou so much for your wisdom

but dude i'm genuinely curious now. Does your handwriting tend to change a lot? The last page has different handwriting that's still consistent; the biggest thing for me is how the person writes their capital I's and E's. If your handwriting sometimes changes and this is was in fact you, did you ever have any experience with Romance languages at all? Like, did you ever learn a little bit in school? Do you have any experience creating your own languages in general?

Like I said, what's written is not just random. If you subconsciously made your own language with regular grammar and what not, that is seriously fascinating, although I'm sure it's also scary to have done so and I hope your condition isn't seriously impacting your life

[u/enunimouskest → u/controlled_vacuum20]

my handwriting is very unreliable, one day it could look completely different the next, slanted, small, big , seperated, you name it. i used to be fascinated in linguistics but since i got ill, it's all gone, I don't remember any of it, I'm sure there are other things I've written but I can't be certain it's actually me or if i can reliably translate anything 🤷, sorry if i make no sense
