Here’s a recording in a mystery language.
Do you know or can you guess the language?
If you need clues, one is available on this week’s Omniglot Newscast, and another is available to my patrons on Patreon.

Finally one I recognise straight away 🙂
Semitic, with the Arabic word “ya’ani” uttered at least twice. But I don’t think it’s Arabic or (some form of) Hebrew. But the first word seems to be the name Shlomo(h). So I am going for some sort of Jewish Neo-Aramaic (originally spoken in Iraq).
I’d agree. A Semitic language for sure. I KNOW it is not the case but there are so many words ending in -o that one would swear it was Esperanto! Lol
I agree with Neo-Aramaic. My guess is that the expression “bish’mayo” said twice at the end means “in heaven.”
Maybe Turoyo?…since “shlomo” is hullo in this language, similar to “shalom” in Hebrew.
Yes, I confirm it.This is Turoyo. Spoken by today’s Assyrian-Aramaeans who are usually Eastern Christians, adherents of the Aramaic, Syrian and Chaldean churches in the north of Syria and south Turkey.
It’s a Central Neo-Aramaic language.
Afro-asiatic for sure, I’m going to guess either Cushitic or South Arabian (Mehri, Shehri, Hobyot etc)
Christian Neo-Aramaic!
The language is Turoyo (Sūrayṯ / Sūryōyō / ܛܘܪܝܐ), a Neo-Aramaic language spoken in southeastern Turkey and northern Syria.
