Mysterious announcement from IBM

Today on Friday, a strange advertisement with the IBM logo was discovered on the IMCI mathmark bulletin board of UrFU.
The text immediately struck by unusual words; no one could recognize the language. Google translator for different sentences suggests different languages: from Esperanto to Catalan. Under the cut a few thoughts about the nature of the text.

Please note that the problem arose already on Friday; The article was added to the sandbox too on Friday. Do not make congratulations on the first of April in the comments.



First of all, we give the text itself, reprinted for ease of analysis.

Key Considerations


In the second and third readings, words begin to come to light , the meaning of which seems clear: matera (mother), divka (woman), corporat (corporation). In addition, there are two names: Rontar Crips and Lavanna Crips .
It is less trivial, but it is still possible to isolate service words: pro , ol , mit , lon . Also visible year and direct speech. The repeated phrase “yu noeir” attracts particular attention.

In general, the word matera suggests South European languages. In particular, Google interprets some words as “Catalan”. (Which does not prevent him from sometimes offering Finnish.)

In general, we have a text with a clear structure and a completely unclear meaning.

An invitation to work?


It is known that companies from time to time hold contests in order to recruit employees with the necessary skills. Sometimes it looks like a quest, the keys of which are scattered across the web and space. Maybe this ad is an “entry point”? Perhaps IBM decided to practice computational linguistics.

CrypTool Analysis


Just in case, we decided to try to decrypt the message with the help of the popular CrypTool utility.
Unfortunately, this did not clarify anything. Under the spoiler, just in case, CrypTool's messages are listed.
