Is this Spanish?

Hi,

I've got a friend on Facebook that's talking in another language, some words look Spanish, other words don't, in fact some words look like gibberish (I've thought maybe it's a code).

I'm wondering if anyone could tell me if a few of these sentences are Spanish or not?

One of them is "Porkino las dos", which I Googled for, and found "Porque no los dos", so I've thought perhaps the spelling is wrong, but the sounds are correct.

Here are a few of the sentences:
1) por chi na takim la noopa
2) chie na poto rei tot le cha ca ne
3) coora makita takim la tochua hamrikatch loratui dikatna nanafaraticka
4) horri sha tommi coo see na hri
5) hushi mi ni qui torri shi doori

Does any of that look like (or sound like) Spanish? I recognise a few words, like "por", "ni", etc.,

Thanks in advance for any help.

It seems to be a mix of languages. A code.

The very first sentence could be Spanish, but only if you try really hard to make it work. The first word could possibly stand for '¿por qué no?' The whole phrase, since the other two words are perfectly good Spanish, would mean, 'Why not both of them?' (both female)

The rest of what was posted is definitely gibberish. Some of the words exist in other languages, but none of the words belong together. It all looks like a jumble. I don't think there's a code involved.

I see that you've asked the same question on another forum and got about the same answer.

Ask your friend what it means. If she doesn't speak Spanish, or any other languages besides English, I think it a safe bet to say it's all gibberish and she's leading you on.

Good night.

Definitely it's not Spanish, already what any word wrote in your post make sense with some kind to phrase or sentence in Spanish.

When someone write some similar in the Facebook or some kind of chat room, not always they write correctly, then sometimes it tend be more colloquial phrases without sense in the conversation.

For instance these words are Mexican phrases in a chat room.
Okas
Klarin
Porke no kier

I don't remember more words.

Ah, darn, I was hoping it might be obvious, I thought I was on to something

Ah ok, I've been starting to think the same thing... probably a code made up amongst themselves, rather than having any particularly algorithm or methodology to it.

Pretty much, it was one of the replies on that forum that eventually led me to believe it might be spanish slang, or some kind of spanish word game.

Haha, that defeats the purpose of the challenge :P I'll probably just give up, she is brazilian though, I tried translating it as that as well, nada.
