   I think I heard “Tbilisi” mentioned. So that would be Georgian.

   If not Georgian, then definitely some other Caucasian language.

   Definitely Georgian. I heard დილა მშვიდობისა as well as თბილისი.

   And, obviously, Georgian is spoken in Georgia. And my bakery.

   Yep, Georgian. And here’s a transcript:

   ძვირფასო მსმენელებო, მოგესალმებით, დილა მშვიდობისა. დღეს ოცდაექვსი აპრილია, შაბათი. თბილისის დროით დილის ცხრა საათზე ვიწყებთ გადაცემას რომელსაც მარიამ ჭიაურელი გაუცხვება. ჯერ დილის გადაცემის შინაარსს გაგაცნობთ.

   or loosely translated:

   Good morning, dear listeners. Today is Saturday, April 26. At 9am Tbilisi time we begin our program with Mariam Chiaureli. But first we’ll let you know of the content of this morning’s show.

   It is indeed Georgian (ქართული), which is spoken mainly in Georgia.

   The recording comes from this site.

   Greg - I think that’s the first time someone has provided a complete transcription, transliteration and translation for one of these language quizzes.
