Google translate thinks it's Tamil, but some words it cannot translate, which tells me Google is guessing. Daksh is related to Hinduism and is also a name in India.

So my assumption would be an Indian language but only based on the above and not for any educated reason.

I am inclined to think this is not text, at least not human text. One of my cats has created somewhat similar text by running across my laptop's keyboard (though the double "tsk" would require a really goal-driven cat).

Ms. Trashbin, if that is really your name, could you advise of the context in which you came across this text, and if it just appeared one day on your computer screen and you have already ruled out demonic device possession, do you have a cat?

'Kaitlyn.Trashbin' is indeed an unusual username.
