  1. There being so many I can only guess but I am almost certain that it is a North American indigenous language, possibly from eastern Canada.

  2. Apart from Manitou or Manedo, I think I have also heard Napi and other beings from Algonkian mythology; therefore it is an Algonkin language, and if the sound of the Spanish Z / English TH appears, and if it is not Shawnee, it will be Arapaho, Kikapu, or Maiami-Ilini..
