Language Quiz 15 August 202114 August 2021 By Simon Here’s a recording in a mystery language. Do you know or can you guess the language, and do you know where it’s spoken?
This is a wild guess. There is something that sounds Finno-Ugric in this language. Could it be one of the Sami languages? Reply
I’m hearing a lot of glottal stops and voiced velar nasals. I’m going to guess it’s something Austronesian, like something related to Indonesian or Tagalog. Reply
The language is Jebero (Shiwilu), a Cahuapanan language spoken in northern Peru. The recording comes from YouTube Reply
