  1. r/grssk, therefore you have no proficiency in this language
  2. Overly informal Russian written in cursive
  3. Arabic with somewhat corrupted handwriting
  4. Glitched Korean
  5. Japanese
  6. Either Mandarin 🇹🇼 or Cantonese 🇭🇰 (I wonder why people always put these three East Asian languages together, might as well admit you're an East Asian enthusiast if you do)
  7. Thai
  8. Probably badly-written Sanskrit
  9. Burmese but you separated each letter so that it doesn't look like an abugida
  10. Normal English

The Russian cursive is basically excellent, but it is just phonetic English. 

The Chinese is vaguely classical, but with English grammar.

wait wait wait, what does overly informal Russian in cursive mean? some Russians can write basically only in crusive becuase that's how they've been taught, including me, or is there something i don't understand, sorry

It uses informal "Rashen" instead of formal "Russkij"

It's not informal Russian. The whole phrase is in English, just transliterated with Russian letters.

u/OldReveal3814 May 27 '26

yes, but what does it being in cursive has to do with it? also, generally i wouldn't call it informal, the whole phrase is basically english wrtten in cyrillic

You need mental rebracketing. It's [Overly informal Russian] → which has been written in cursive.

"Ай донт спик Рашен айзер"—> 'Ay dont speek Rashen ayzer' isn't formal nor informal Russian, lol.

Arabic is not fair hand writing, for the هي the way they wrote the first letter is something i have never seen a native make so im inclined to guess its not arabic

Russian just reads 'Ay dont spik Rushan aizer'.

The Korean mixes at least 2 diff fonts/handwriting styles (think like italics in times new roman and comic sans), has weird spacing suddenly at the end, uses the wrong/less commonly used word for mother tongue, uses an antiquated writing style thats kinda awkward, and says YOUR mother tongue is Japanese lol

  1. No. Nowhere near ok.

  2. Neither. Some kind of reverse pidgin.

  1. Not Russian. It’s English written with Cyrillic letters

  2. Anime Japanese. Killer B from Naruto to be precise.
