What language is the text on the Ancient Mew card written in?

Ancient Mew, distributed at screenings of the second film in 1999 in Japan and in 2000 elsewhere, is written in Germanic runes used as a cipher for the Latin alphabet, with Mayan glyphs in the illustration; the full decoder was published in the September 1999 issue of CoroCoro. Early Japanese printings spell Nintendo as Nintedo in the copyright line, a mistake corrected on a later run.
