Here’s a recording of a mystery language. Can you guess or do you know which language it is? Or at least which language family it belongs to.

h.e. got it right - it is indeed Karakalpak, a Turkic language spoken mainly in Uzbekistan.
The recording comes from YouTube, and there are links to other videos of people speaking Karakalpak on that page.
