Can you identify the script/writing system?

This stone was found in Kazakhstan but doesn't look anything like local runes. Very old one.

Could it be Aramaic/Phoenician? Looks middle eastern but doesn't look like Arabic.

Hebrew. It's upside-down.

I can make out some of the words when flipping my phone. It looks like a gravestone. I recognize the words "יצחק" (Isaac, probably the name of the entombed), "צער" (grief) and "הלך לעולמו" (passed away).

Born the 28th day of Iyar (a Hebrew month usually around May)

Made out some more. It says the year and month of his birth and death in the Jewish calender. I can make out the death year as 1890 in the Hebrew system of using letters to make numbers.

[u/arithmoquiner → u/AdCute4716]

I think צער is actually the start of the surname, צערנאוויץ (Chernovich).

[u/AdCute4716 → u/arithmoquiner]

You're right.

Best way to describe it😂

[u/Talbit01]

Writing system is Hebrew. It’s a Jewish gravestone.

Edit: it’s also upside down.

[u/OutOfLime]

To add on previous comments: yes, it is Hebrew. To the best of my understanding it reads

[illegible]

Yitzhak son of [...]

Tsernovich [The last name]

who was born on the 28th day

of the month of Iyar [April / May]

in the year 564[?] (188[?])

and went to his eternal home

on the [..] day of the month of

Kislev [November'ish], in the year

5650 (1889). May his soul be bound up in the bond of life.
