    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

      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

      Car
