My only hint is that it may be read aloud as if it were in a hybrid of the Belorussian and Russian alphabets. For some people on this forum, what comes out when it's read aloud may sound vaguely familiar with some words even sounding very similar to what's used in a better-known language.

Since you don't mention Ukrainian, it's not Rusyn. Can it be Trasianka?

Just for the record, I'm out of my depth here. Just being honest... :)

Try again.

It's no problem that you feel out of your depth. It's just a game, after all.

Oh, I have no problem there (hence the smiley face). And it's fun to investigate. One hour ago, I didn't know what Trasianka was.

But we have an expression in Portuguese for what I'd be doing if I insisted: "atirar o barro à parede, a ver se cola".

So, I'll let this one to the slavophones.

I was just saying that I had tried to solve the challenge, without success. My expression (idiomatic Portuguese) means something like "to throw clay at a wall, to see whether it sticks".
