Restorer32 Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 Definitely not Thai. Something very close to Hindi. I spent 5 years in a previous life studying Hindi but have forgotten 99% of it by now but I still recognize the alphabet. Restoring cars is easier.

Restorer32 Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 Best guess it's from Nepal or Assam. There are so many different languages and dialects in that area (over 400 in India alone) that it can be a chore to figure out exactly which one it is. It is written in Devanagri script.
