What is this language?

[tomw92]

I'm all out of ideas here!

Was hand written on a white board at uni.

The symbols look kind of like Greek but I don't think they are.

 

[Haggisman]

Well, most of them look like greek characters, and they also appear to be similar to how words are phonetically spelled in the dictionary, so I'm gonna go with Chinese.

I read them as:

Transparent
Enthrall?
Tremble
...no idea...

Here you go, it's IPA:

We used to have various English words written up like this on whiteboards in the EFL dept. at the college I used to work in.
