No, not the English that I'm writing in…

What is this language on my shirt?

I've had this shirt for a few years and I've finally gotten tired of not knowing what is written on it. I hope that it's not just decorative designs or a constructed language.

 

If anyone can help me out I'll be grateful.

If you can't, you can always take a guess for fun.

 

A bientot! :)

It looks like a really different version of Armenian for me but I'm not sure about it. If it's not Armenian, then it's probably decorative desings because I've never seen a constructed language like that.

Reminds me a bit of Georgian but I really can't point it out exactly.

I don't know what language it is. I see a few Latin words I know, but that could just be order appearing out of randomness. I'm going to guess that it is gibberish in a very stylized Latin alphabet, though it does look cool. 

 

I seriously doubt this is Armenian: http://hy.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D4%B3%D5%AC%D5%AD%D5%A1%D5%BE%D5%B8%D6%80_%D5%A7%D5%BB

 

Same for Georgian: http://ka.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E1%83%9B%E1%83%97%E1%83%90%E1%83%95%E1%83%90%E1%83%A0%E1%83%98_%E1%83%92%E1%83%95%E1%83%94%E1%83%A0%E1%83%93%E1%83%98

 

I'd say this leaves you free to make up something utterly false and see who believes you. The lost epic of the Kartvelians of Sorbian France.

I was gonna say Latin 'cus of the "Homo" and "Bona" I saw plus some -um and -un endings I saw but considering the resident Latin Overlord above me didn't recognise it I'd say that hypothesis goes right out the window.

 

Some of the letterforms remind me of Medieval scripture. Perhaps it's some Romantic language or predecessor Medieval variant. Romanian?

There are some very georgian looking characters in there, but I really doubt it's Georgian. I think it's a gibberish stream of random letters or words from different languages. It looks cool though. :)
