Language quiz 22 November 2015 By Simon Here’s a recording in a mystery language. Can you identify the language, and do you know where it’s spoken?
Interesting. Seems to be a Christian text in an English-based creole, or at least in a language that derived most of its Christian terminology from English (“God”, “Jesus”, “diafolus”). Reply
The answer is Nunggubuyu (Wubuy) an East Arnhem language spoken in Numbulwar in the Northern Territory of Australia. The recording comes from the GRN. Reply
I guess an Australian native language?.

It appears to have borrowed “Chapter One” as well.
I could go with something Australian too.
