                    Well.. right except the last, although I wouldn't expect anyone to know that one unless theyre some old teacher of mine or have gone through my stuff.

                    • These are getting tough... but someone has to start guessing. My guess is that the common factor of those languages is being extinct. So:

                      AV: Sumerian?
                      AX: Phoenician?
                      AY is some kind of ancient Germanic, possibly Nordic, and it is a bible quote, about turning the other cheek when someone strikes you.
                      AZ: Assyrian?

                      BB makes no sense on my screen. Lots of (, &, $ and @. Do you need some special encoding to see it properly?

                      • In phonetics the ? sound denotes a glottal stop. I guess there are many different ways to transcribe languages

                        • Tau Ceti:
                          Yes, you are very much on the right track, especially AY.

                          All of them, except BD, are Indo-European.

                          And no, there is absolutely nothing wrong with the encoding.

                          • AF is "Letzebuergesch" one of Luxembourg's languages

                            I'm actually quite surprised that for me it's understandable, almost better than Dutch.

Neither do a author think so much about such when he writes as best: It's something you got in you when you have written for a long time. But it is important to know about it te day you need it. Look close on the poems you read, and ask poets you meet how they work."
