It really is the Carrier script. As for the language, it was supposed to be Navajo, but seems like it's not. Sorry, I didn't do the research.
Aeetlrcreejl, you have answered this one, give us the next puzzle! |

How would you write Navajo in Carrier, anyway?
As for the new challenge, lessee: first guess - Central America somewhere? (or maybe the Caucasus?)
The lines under letters have to be the biggest clue, but without looking them up on Wikipedia I don't know what they're clues to. |

It's not Central American, but that's closer than the Caucasus. _________________ Iwocwá ĵọṭãsák.

Nope - that's a personal choice on my part. _________________ Iwocwá ĵọṭãsák.

Figured it was worth asking ^_^
Australia or Papua New Guinea? (are those closer to America than the Caucasus?) |

(1st guess) From some place they speak Spanish?
(2nd guess) Filipino?
(3rd guess) Hamar from southern Ethiopia?
(4th guess) A language spoken in Bangladesh or Pakistan or India or near there?
(5th guess) Roma or Romany (aka "Gypsy")? _________________ "We're the healthiest horse in the glue factory" - Erskine Bowles, Co-Chairman of the deficit reduction commission |

So I can search like a letter? The ones with lines under them are intriguing me. |

Right you are about that
Na-Déné?
If not, is it still north of Washington State's border with Canada? |
