What language is graffiti written in? (lemm.ee)

I'm not sure if this is something you guys can or want to help with. The bathroom at my current job is completely free of graffiti except for the words "itik nuliak" written very clearly in Sharpie. It's not a language local to where I live and putting it in Google translate doesn't do anything. It's been bothering me.

Just from a quick search, it looks like they were correct.

That surprises me. They're one of these people who talk extensively about all the languages they want to learn without actually doing anything about it. Mind you, I suppose he wasn't exactly translating shakespeare.
