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

Sounds like a Romance language, I’ll say Neapolitan
I kept hearing the word “espera” so I wonder if it isn’t a language of Italian origin. The lilt of the language also makes me think thus. Also, I am not sure why but I don’t seem to be able to see the results of previous quizzes anymore. It used to be that I had to fill out my name and e-mail address which now appear automatically but I no longer see any answers.
It’s Greek, but I don’t know which dialect it is.
Yes, it sounds Greek, but with an Italian touch to it … Griko perhaps?
I hear something as “se kata spiti”, which I translate as “at home” ,or “in house” ,in Greek. Also “kanname” is audible , “we did it”.
I also think it’s Greek but I don’t know the dialect.
Sorry, one correction “kanname”__”we carried it”.
Is it Tsakonian? I’ve read about it, but never heard it spoken.
I agree – sounds like a variety of Greek
It is Greko, spoken in Calabria, the “toe” of Italy’s boot (Area Grecanica), Griko is spoken in Salento, the “heel” of Italy’s boot (Grecìa Salentina).
The answer is Griko (Γκρίκο), a variety of Italiot Greek spoken in Apulia and Calabria in southern Italy.
The recording comes from YouTube:
Griko it’s called in Puglia, in Calabria it’s called grekanika. They are different dialects.
