Translation needed
I have no clue what language this is in, it could be either dutch, portugese or spanish.
Te En Contro no bra sid Gi Sdey Bam...Bam...Bam...
Its on the back of a dollar bill.
Sounds asian with a bit of Spanish. Filipino maybe? They used the dollar...

I don't think its spanish, maybe portugese.

Latin. I'm going to go with Latin. Just 'cuz Latin is cool.
Seriously? I have no idea. It's not "asian". Firstly, there is no "asian". Secondly, translating "asian" phonetically results in words strung together that looks like... this:
ngooh jhung gweii logh.
That's Cantonese, but many asian languages are pretty glutteral, with the exception of Japanese, which is weird. Yeah.
bam... bam... bam... ?
Phoney money. :lol:

"Te En Contro no bra sid Gi Sdey Bam...Bam...Bam... "
Spread your legs and close your eyes. Bam...Bam...Bam...
Or something like that.
* bump *
Interesting... Maybe Creole?
The "Te En Contro no" is definitly some bad Spanish, but I'm fairly sure that the rest of it isn't.
"Bam...bam...bam"?
Its in flintstonian, gotta be :wink:

Not Asian? the "bra sid Gi Sdey" Sounds like a SE Asian language.
"Sidgi Sdey" could even be Indonesian.
I mean, i'm no expert, but I have heard a lot of Asian languages be spoken.

Maybe it's a long-lost language from a mythical land that will draw you into a Holy Quest for ... something.

Uh, I do believe that's Esperento...a combi of a number of languages. Te is You in Italian, and Contro is against....En would are in Latin....Bra is French for arms. No is a negative, I'm sure....the rest I can't figure out. How do I know this? x number of years of French lessons in school. Ugh.
Te En Contro no bra sid Gi Sdey Bam...Bam...Bam...

Te Encuentro no bra sid Gi
Here's a theory
Te Encuentro = I find you (Spanish)
no Bra sid Gi = No idea
Bam ... Bam ... Bam ... = I'm going to shoot you!
It might mean "If I find you <someone's name>, you're dead".
The bit in the middle is still confusing.
This is really weird. lol.
I looked up Gi Sdey, and its supposedly "Today" or something like that in Khmer...umm, any Khmer speakers able to confirm this?
*sound of crickets*
Didn't think so :lol:
But Indigoland could be right when he says its esperanto...
To me though, it looked spanish more than anything.
And besides, what country ever printed esperanto notes? (I know marxist nations sometimes taught esperanto, but i don't think they ever printed it on money)
Is it handwritten on the note, or is it part of the actual printing?
Sounds like a perv was messing around with federal property

Te Encuentro "My dog has no nose"
no Bra sid Gi "How does he smell?"

Or perhaps not.

The original said en contro if it was a conjugation of encontrar that would be third preson in the pretirite (sp?) tense. ie he/she/it found you.

It's interesting: Chinese in all forms are Sino-Tibetan, formed in China. Japanese and Korean are more closely related to Basque (a Spanish language) and aboriginal South-East Asian languages.

Japanese is related to Chinese- The Kanji are Chinese characters.
And i can vouch that it isn't Japanese either :)

It's not Spanish, I tell you. Even if I must agree the "Te En Contro" sounds like it, it is not.
I should know, I'm from Spain :wink:
