On the road "if it's old, then it's probably plaintext":

if (at least the words are) phonetical &
plaintext, so it could be some strange mix.
to try an easy answer (directly connected
with "astrological coins" of the Moghul Empire)
.. was there any Sino-Tibetian people?
More speculations: Mongolian-Chinese
(since Chinese doesn't have too much grammar,
so could it be "mostly Chinese roots
peppered with a kind of Mongolian grammar?");
Tibetian_Bengali (okeey, right now I do not
know anymore, what I am telling about...). It
becomes pretty complex anyway. But about 1500,
Venezians operated from Alexandria, Egypt
afaik & Portugal was just ready to kick them
out of the silkroad game (so, poor times coming
for Italia ...)
About Venezians in Egypt, did they have any
outposts in India? Probably yes in 1500, probably
no in 1515 or so ... am I wrong now?
