I think that may be Javanese.
Sounds more like a Tibeto-Burman language possibly from the far north-eastern parts of India (Arunachal Pradesh, Nagaland etc.)
But definitely not Malayo-Polynesian or Austro-Asiatic.
Lynnie is on the right lines: the answer is Tshangla (Sharchop), a member of the Bodish branch of Sino-Tibetan languages spoken in parts of Bhutan, Tibet, and Arunachal Pradesh in India.
Simon, that’s a piece of English usage that I’ve never heard before: “on the first lines”. Is that equivalent to “on the right lines”? Is it dialectal and, if so, from where?

The recording comes from the GRN.
