Hi there. I'm new here... my friend challanged me to ID this language:



My guess is that it's Uzbek? Am I correct? Or is it impossible to tell one Cyrillic form from another?

Thanks for your help!

Looks Mongolian to me.

If I were you I would take one of the words and try to google it. See what country gets the most hits, i.e. .mn or .uz

You might be looking at the Uzbek Cyrillic, also it looks like the same writing my friend taught me, I would guess and say it looks like Siberian Yupik too.

Ү,ү : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ү ( it's no a "Y" from Latin alphabet )
"... in Mongolian, Kazakh, Kyrgyz, Tatar, Bashkir languages, Buryat and Kalmyk langugages and many others)

Search indeed reveals most from .mn domain.
