I mean, based on the research conducted so far, we can narrow down the possibilities to four points.

1. A rare ancient language phonetical or real
Stolfi’s theory that it is an Asian language. Or it could be a very rare dialect that no one speaks or know anymore (I’m not allowed to say here which one that might be Big Grin ).

2. It is a made-up language, see Hildegard von Bingen.

3. It is a complex, section-dependent generator that would be completely anachronistic for its time (whether it’s a hoax or not doesn’t even matter here).

4. It is a nomenclature system with lists switched by f.e. line-start markers, and the lists no longer exist.

Except for Stolfi’s approach and possibly easier Genereators of option 3, none of these possibilities can be solved even with AI or a quantum computer. That is because this is not a problem of computing power or artificial intelligence.
