I am using a translator to type. i only speak english. these were found on the walls in an empty apartment.

私は型への変換を使用しています。私は英語を話す。こ れらは空のアパートの壁に発見された。

That's not even in Japanese, I'm afraid.

I was even thinking the first looks a bit like Korean, with the rest kind of looking like someone who isn't Japanese. The penmanship is so ugly.

But the stroke order looked correct on the kanji I recognized, so I thought maybe it was a Japanese person with a muscular problem or something.

Sashimister's got the last word, as he's a native speaker of Japanese!

yeah, it was kinda weird, we knew that some of it is japanese and some is ???. im the founder of a paranormal research team, we are about to investigate this giant hotel/ apartments for a documentary. And this one room has these writings on it. we wanted to see if it meant anything that could help out with the investigation. i appreciate the responses. very helpful. any of the part that is japanese... what does it say? are any of those words?

1. doesn't even look Japanese
2. doesn't seem Japanese, but has the sense of entering and it being peaceful/calm (？入平安)
3. looks more like Chinese than Japanese, but it mentions white rice, 100 years, something being good, and other things I don't know.
4. the third says something about a year, but I can't make anything else out.

It's not Japanese, though. Check a Chinese forum. It looks more Chinese than Japanese. But the first looks more like Korean than anything else.

It looks like total ass to me. the bottom one looks like 千年好 then the radical that means road and I cannot make out the last one at all. It is either gibberish or chinese I would say. The second one kind of looks like 出入平安 which a quick google search turns up this:
Google

Thus it appears to be a common phrase put on a good luck charm, calling for the safety of the owner or whoever. (or probably for whoever passes through that door it is written on).

The last line looks a bit like:

午年女？そ?う

year of the horse woman *something* it is so.

Be the same meaning in Chinese though for the first part, so I would go with the it ain't Japanese line.


Chinese dictionary with handwriting recognition

drawing each character one by one into this then looking up the printed character might help? Long unreliable method though!


I don't think it looks anything like Korean though, al the korean letters I have seen are very um hula-hoop and matchstick esque

It may be a more ancient language, this image got me thinking, it is ancient Egyptian:

Or something really stupid and nerdy like klingon

Or even a mixture of lots of diff languages just to confuse the person who finds it!
