Language quiz

Here’s a recording of Silent Night in a mystery. Do you know of can you guess which language it?

I’ll be making the long track north to the parental home tomorrow, and will probably be offline for most of the week. So you’ll have to wait until next week for the answer.

A Multilingual Merry Christmas to those of you who celebrate it.

Here are the words from the Songs section of Omniglot:

Đêm tháng vô cùng
Giây phút tưng bừng
Đất với trời
Se chữ đồng
Đêm nay Chúa con thần thánh tôn thờ
Canh khuya giáng sinh trong chốn hang lừa
Ơn châu báu vô bờ bến
Biết tìm kiến của chi đền.
