[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 334169, member: 2844"]The script is Arabic, the language is likely to be Turkish. Turkish writing changed from Arabic to Latin in 1928, but was still used for several decades by those who were taught it. There won't be many people who can read Turkish in Arabic script nowadays. Probably best to take the piece of paper to a Turkish Mosque in your area and ask if they know anyone who can still read Turkish in Arabic script.[/QUOTE]
