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

It sounds either Mongolic or Tungusic.
It’s definitely a Bantu language from Southern Africa. I’m not going to guess Zulu or Xhosa because those are too widely spoken for these language quizzes. I’m going to say Sesotho, Tswana, Swazi, Venda, Ndebele, or Tsonga.
Looks like a language from India.
I thought I heard a click so I suppose it’s a southern African langauge and for whatever reason I think it is seSotho.
I thought I heard the sound / hl /, similar to the Welsh ll. As far as I know this exists in Chichewa, Xhosa and Zulu. It is also heard in Sepedi, Sindebele, Ronga, Tswana and Yao although combined with / t / o / k / etc …
I can’t hear any click and I supose maybe it’s Chichewa.The national /offical languge of Malawi. I think.
The answer is Northern Sotho (Sesotho sa Leboa / Sepedi), a Bantu language spoken in the South African provinces of Gauteng, Limpopo and Mpumalanga.
