Can you identify the language, and do you know where it’s spoken?

It sounds like Arabic to me.
I think I hear cognates to Hebrew “v;” for “and” and “emar” for “said.”
It’s African. Not sure though, but I think it’s relative to Somali or Ethiopian (Amharic).
A South Semitic language – Tigre?
Sounds quite Afro-Asiatic…something that’s related to Amharic or Somali maybe. But definitely not Tibeto-Burman….haha
The speaker has a French intonation somehow. That would point to the former French colonies in
Northwest Africa: Mauritania, Marocco, Algeria and Tunisia.
While I’m sure this time that it’s not Hassaniya spoken in Mauritania, it could be a Berber language of Marocco such as Tamasheq.
Sounds like Tigrinya
The answer is Tadaksahak, a Songhai language spoken mainly in Mali, and also known as Daosahaq, Daoussahaq, Daoussak, Dausahaq or Dawsahaq.
