Tough one. Some sounds suggest a Spanish/Portuguese-based language. Maybe an indigenous language spoken in Latin America with borrowings from Spanish. I also heard “questa” which suggests Italian. The music sounds Hispanic. I also find the noise in the background hard to take. I doubt I am right and will not be surprised at ANY answer! Lol
West African Portuguese
I can’t come up with anything, but I’m guessing that the “tz” sounds I hear will be useful in narrowing it down, for someone else.
I agree with Hank on the indigenous language spoken in Latin America with borrowings from Spanish because I think I hear a “pero” at 0:12. The tz-sounds are quite prominent as are some ejective or implosive stops and affricates. Maybe something in the Maya, Quechua or Aymara families?
Is it Zapotec?
No, not Zapotec, but in the same language family.
WELL, i see that Zapotec is listed in the Oto-Manguean family and I listened to every one on that list but can’t find it. I will leave it to my betters to see what they can do. Very interesting though!
The language is Otomi (Hñähñu), an Oto-Manguean language spoken in central Mexico.
