Most likely some type of Chinook Jargon. Too bad nobody speaks it anymore. Its a dead language. All I can translate for sure is 'nika' means 'my'. Su is a common prefix in the language. No idea what 'sillema' means. The sentence might also be a combination of multiple languages. 'sillema' might have the root form of 'sillä' from finnish

Not a show-stopper so "enhancement"
