I think today’s mystery language could be one of the Iranian languages.

I’m afraid we’ve had this recording before, on May 3, 2015. (I guessed Chuukese and was wrong.)
P. you’re right. This language has featured before. I’ve replaced the recording with a new one.
Daydreamer – the first recording was in Afshar, a Turkic language spoken in Turkey, Iran, Syria and Afghanistan.
This one surely is an Aleut language but frankly not sure at all. I recognised the first recording from some time ago and got that wrong also.
Pretty sure it’s a Turkic language, but I can’t get more specific.
Could it be a Tungusic language?
The answer is Yakut / Sakha (Саха тыла), a Turkic language spoken in the Sakha Republic in the Russian Federation.
The recording comes from the GRN.
