To me it sounds similar to Japanese, but with many hard Rs. I am sure though that those who actually understand Japanese will strongly disagree about the similarity :)

Sounds kinda like Tadjik, spoken in Tadjikistan and surrounding countries.

sounds japanesey – either a dialect of that or ainu, the only other language i know of spoken in japan

ill go with ryuukyuuan, as a random guess

i agree with xarxa. it maybe a ryukyuan language such as Okinawan.

Definitely an asiatic language, though not necessarily a Turkic language… I don’t think it’s any of the Ryukyu languages, though, either. My guess is that it could be Mongolian.

d.m.f.

Albanian.

Some dravidian language.

Heard the θ’s (as featured) so I can assume it’s either Albanian or Turkmen, which would be spoken in Albania and Kosovo, or Turkmenistan.

turkish? some Turkic language? i know it’s definitely not japanese.

I’m going to agree with Ben and Jeremy.

I didn’t hear a single [θ] in there, what I heard were voiceless laterals. And plenty of uvulars. I am guessing a Caucasian language.

I’m gonna go ahead and guess korean or a dialect thereof.

Yaghtz: This is why I went for Mongolian as my guesds. It certainly isn’t Korean, which doesn’t have the hard “r” that can be found in other Mongolic languages. Besides, not once did I hear an “-seo” or “-imnida”, which are common verbal endings. (The latter being similar to the Japanese “desu”- the verb “to be”.)

d.m.f.

A Slavonic language?

d.m.falk got it – it is , which is spoken in Mongolia, China, Afghanistan and Russia.

It sounds super-cool.
