Yesterday came home to find a bit of folded-up paper wedged in a crack in the fence wall bit (pavement goes right past it). Opened it up to find 2x2p coins inside unrecognisable writing - see pic!
What is this?

Oh dear, hopelessly. That actually makes sense. I was struggling because I couldn't find the little sticky-outy bits to orient myself ("teeth" would be a good description). But if a Mongolian can't translate it, I doubt someone like me who studied it for barely a year could...

Although DH also studied Mongolian and is a linguist (and knows a bunch of linguists). I've sent the stuff to him - will report back if anything comes of it!

I'm still checking on this daily haha!

There are Mongolian restaurants in Bristol. Would someone there be able to read it?

girlelephant · 14/02/2017 22:05

So are we now thinking it's Mongolian and not someone with MH issues?

witwootoodleoo · 14/02/2017 22:12

Could be Mongolian and also have MH issues of course.....

WhyPost · 14/02/2017 22:13

Or a Mongolian with MH issues and bad hand writing. 🤔

wundringnow · 14/02/2017 22:21

Oh, I have a Mongolian friend. I'll see if he can make anything of it.

ThaliaLuxurySpa · 14/02/2017 22:57

Can I just say how seriously impressive the MN knowledge base continues to be? All so interesting. Your contributions of all stripes are making this one of my favourite threads.

(Though I'm quite partial to the leftfield theories, too, it has to be said) Wink

Nothing to add, but intriguing Grin
Lets hope there is an answer. Could it be a child? I used to play at being a school teacher and wrote fake letters.

neveradullmoment99 · 14/02/2017 23:43

It looks super neat though.

liz70 · 15/02/2017 00:37

Tatlagan Bichleg. I like that; it's definitely got a ring to it. Grin

wundringnow · 15/02/2017 00:58

Hmm my Mongolian friend said "No, that's not Mongolian. To me it looks like somebody made it up".

FreeNiki · 15/02/2017 02:54

Havent read the whole thread so dont know if its been suggested.

This is Georgian handwriting. Any correlation?

Place marking as I have also invested a lot of time reading this thread!! Love the idea of the local Mongolian restaurant checking it out! I too am impressed by the MN knowledge!

ThatsSoFetch · 15/02/2017 12:39

Shamelessly placemarking!

brooklyn66 · 15/02/2017 20:30

A poster has contacted me about a similar note she found some time ago, but hasn't been able to find hers yet... but guess what, it was on the street directly next to mine! So must have been going on for quite a while (assuming it is the same person!). Will update (or she can!) when I know more!
Still doesn't really explain what it is but it's so interesting. Haven't had a chance to ask any neighbours yet but will this weekend. There are quite a lot of renters that move in and out but some have been here ages.

I've checked and there's no CCTV pointing in our direction :(
