Question

Be'tuen aban'nats...Be'tuen shak natsan tajak'lan...

Translation of this please

my friend who only speaks spanish said it.. he's from guatemala - jenifercarson, Nov 24, 2010

I think he was kidding... did he write this to you or say it? - Goldie_Miel, Nov 24, 2010

Answer 1

I have never seen writing like that, sorry.

Hmmm...on second thought, and this is highly doubtful, maybe he is trying to write out something he heard in English using semi-spanish phonetics???

Be'tuen aban'nats...Be'tuen shak natsan tajak'lan...

Between a banana hats...Between shack and a sand to jack land...

(It's really only the betweens that make me think it could possibly be an attempt at an English sentence)

Another possibility is that he is quoting something that a local aboriginal tribe from his area might say.

Who knows? I would alert your friend that you cannot understand this at all and see if he can rephrase it. Ask him if it is even Spanish because it sure doesn't look anything at all like any Spanish I have ever seen.

Answer 2

Hi Jenifer - where did you find this phrase? What made you think it is Spanish?

Answer 3

I think that´s an East Asian language
