Rob Posted July 15, 2020 Report Share Posted July 15, 2020 Hi all, I need help figuring out what is the language on the cross in the attached photo. The letters are similar to Greek or Cyrillic but not all of them...thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
宇崎ちゃん Posted July 15, 2020 Report Share Posted July 15, 2020 This is interesting. The top looks like Chinese or Japanese (日工十), followed by Japanese (ヨ), the last 2 looks like Arabic, and at the right of ヨ I see "go" like in English, followed by a character which I think comes from Georgian Hebrew. My guess would be Georgian Hebrew, since it's Christian, and has been around for a long time, although the cross itself would be a strange one. English is a Christian language, but modern English hasn't been around for this long, while Chinese, Japanese, and Arabic aren't Christian languages at all (Chinese and Japanese are based off Buddhism and Confucianism, in addition of Japanese having influence from Shintoism and Chinese from Taoism in ancient China (or Taiwan and Hong Kong), and Maoism in mainland China, while everyone knows that Arabic is as Islamic as it can get).
