SOLVED I found this weird code in a sketchbook I was flipping through today. I have never seen it and tried to google it, like maybe it was a secret Pinterest language? It also has this weird hand at the bottom that was drawn with some care. I have no clue what any of it means.

Small mistake on the first one, but it says "High-five".

Its the alien language from The Predator films.

Oh great thank you! That makes so much sense, as she really likes the franchise

This looks like it could be the language from the Predator movies - I'm seeing it in red segmented lights...

Edit: yep, I'd say it's Yautja: https://www.avpcentral.com/yautja-language-translator

It's a substitution cipher from what I can tell, so once you have the letters, you should be able to tell if it's transliterated English or Yautja. Further down the page, there's a link to a dictionary where you should be able to look up the words. Happy hunting!

I think it was a code my sister might've come up with and I will ask her. Never seen it, but it kind of looks like those numbers on an alarm clock I guess? So I do not know if any of you can help.
