Could it be a "Latinizing" transcription of another script, to make it easier to read for Europeans while keeping the inherent structure of the source? For example a European copying a "insert language like Mandarin here" text, replacing the original glyphs with more familiar ones?
I wouldn't rule this out if the original text was strongly structured, perhaps exploiting some inherent properties of the source language or script.
