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

West or Central African. I hear a few portuguese-sounding words in there, which may well just be incidental phonetic similarities. But, for the sake of argument, I’m going to guess that it is spoken in Angola.
I think West African but further south perhaps Namibia or Botswana but the only certainty is that it is African and it is not a song.
No idea which particular language it is, but a guess that it could spoken in West Africa ranging from Côte d’Ivoire to Cameroun.
Here’s a clue – this language is spoken mainly in Zambia.
Definitely a bantu language. Is it Lamba ?
Could it be Lozi?
P. is right – the answer is Lozi (siLozi), a Bantu language spoken mainly in southwestern Zambia.
