Hungarian. It's a tongue twister: Az ipafai papnak fapipája van, ezért az ipafai papi pipa papi fapipa. This means, "The priest of Ipafa has a wooden pipe, therefore the priest-pipe of Ipafa is a priest-woodpipe." The answer is… Hungarian. It’s a tongue twister:

Az ipafai papnak fapipája van, ezért az ipafai papi pipa papi fapipa.

This means, “The priest of Ipafa has a wooden pipe, therefore the priest-pipe of Ipafa is a priest-woodpipe.”

I'm pretty sure the language isn't Finnish or Welsh; my guess is that it's either Hungarian or Lithuanian. Lithuanian came to mind first, but then Latvia is just to the north with a related language. Hungarian is surrounded with languages of other families though, so that seems like a reasonable guess. Sounds like a tongue twister to me!
