    Does anyone know that language is the plaintext below?

    ======================================
    (Decrypted using Affine cipher)

    I'd tried all the key and the only plaintext that can be readed is shown
    above.
    But I cannot figure out what language is that.

    Does anyone know it?
    (If possible, can you split it to word by word?)

    Thanks for helping.
