There is writing on the back of this photo but the only word I can decipher is “Lucky”. Maybe you guys can help.

Google guesses that it’s Finnish and offers this as a translation, “Bumi pa Lucky lama is attitu Looking for Meijan” 😆

It could be French.

It looks like Finnish to me. Let me see if I can figure it out…

I'm guessing Lucky is the cat's name and the rest is in another language, maybe Swedish?

And how does the picture look like? Maybe it is a description of what is going on in the picture?

My guess would be either a second language Finnish speaker, or early example of the capital dialect know as "stadin slangi". That particular dialect is known for mixing random foreign words (especially Swedish and English) with Finnish by giving them Finnish inflections, so it would fit.

Fascinating how a simple photo annotation has turned into a small discussion of something I'd never heard of before. Great social history!

I'm pretty sure it's "Minä ja Lucky - Tämä on [otettu] meijän hausissa", which translates to "Me and Lucky - this was taken at our house". "Meijän" is a dialectical form of "meidän" (our) and "hausissa" is an American Finnish expression for house.
