Name that tune
Here is a recording of part of a song in a mystery language. Can you name the song and work what language it is?

It’s the Internationale, but I don’t know the language.
OK, I found the language by checking these translations (it was fairly easy):

But I’m not giving away the answer so other people can have some fun :)
based on that l’internationale is the song of socialism/communism and based on the beats and words, i will guess albanian.
i’m gonna guess albanian. definitly middle eastern sounding music, but the language doesn’t fit arabic hebrew or aramit.
oops maybe not. how about kurdish?
Yes, it’s Kurdish.
The language is indeed Kurdish and the song is the Internationale. The recording comes from this site, which has recordings of the Internationale in quite a few other languages.
