Agreed, Rene.
If we want to test if the language is some form of dialect, the first question should be "is it Germanic", for example, or even "is it Indo-European?"
So personally I see little use in trying to figure out which rare dialect it could be, but I wish the best of luck to people who want to explore that avenue.
I lean very much towards option (2). I think it will be a language from a limited set of "common" ones, like Latin, Greek, Hebrew... but represented in a way that imposes an unusual structure on the words.
This is hard to put into words, but I don't really see it as a cipher either, even though the script is unknown. Does that make sense? Cipher sounds like the intention is to keep a secret, right? But I'm not sure if that is necessarily the case, just because we can't read it...
