   It is definitely Farsi or Dari (or some other Persian language).

   It’s sounds sort of like a mix between a Persian language and a Turkic language… I’m going to guess Tajik (I think I heard Dushanbe in the recording.)

   I also think it is Tajik.

   I thought it sounded kinda like French. Although I know it’s not French, it still sounds kinda close.

   The answer is … Persian/Farsi.

   I can see how this could be confused with French.

   That didn’t sound much like french to me…

   Yeah, this clip sounds like French, I know it’s not b/c I have a fairly good level, but to me it still sounds similar. I actually started learning some Persian last week, but this clip sounded nothing like what I’ve heard so far though. Of course, that would just be the first few lessons of Assimil… mard ab dad ;) :):):)
