I can't even tell whether this is Turkic or Uralic. It mixes latin and cyrillic alphabets and uses the barred-O and something that resembles a c-cedil. It has the word "saaksa" which looks a lot like Finnish "saksa".

Looks like Soviet Turkic. A cousin of Uzbek perhaps?

I had ruled out Uzbek because it doesn't have the barred-O in its cyrillic form nor the Ç in the latin form (not even the cyrillic Ç-look-alike).

It looks like the old script for albanian or gagauz.
Edit: it is Yakutian, written in old script.

This wasn't supposed to be a riddle: I didn't know the answer at the time of the posting, but a few minutes after, the owner of this document told me, so I'm here to share it with you. This is a birth certificate of someone born in the Sakha Republic (Yakutia). So Wilco is correct.

Where's my prize? I really hope it's an all inclusive trip on the beaches of north Yakutia!

Unfortunately, I have nothing to offer but Brazilian shemale porn. Interested?
Just kidding. Anyway, good job identifying it, I've seen a lot of Russians (I'd expect them to recognize one of their minority languages) missing the mark in another forum.
