"I think I understand the structure of the words, in how consonant and vowel sounds are placed, and there are a few individual letters or sounds that I believe I've narrowed down. However I'm still having difficulty correctly identifying enough of them to begin decoding, presuming that this is a language that could be translated into one of those that I know. If it is entirely unique, then it would be very difficult without at least a few words that we knew the translation for."
