Language Quiz 19 March 202325 March 2023 By Simon Here’s a recording in a mystery language. Do you know or can you guess the language?
I learn Finnish and this language comes off to me as a variety of Finnish. I remember Kven has already been featured in the quiz, so my answer is Meänkieli Reply
I, too, heard the words “suomesta” which clinches it for me as being somewhat kin to Finnish. I agree with Vyrpenz as to its being Meänkieli. Reply
The language is Meänkieli, a Finnic language spoken along the valley of the Torne River in northern Sweden, and also in neighbouring parts of Finland. The recording comes from YouTube Reply

Yes, he mentions “suomesta” (9:00) … It must be something close to Finnish, I suppose.
Suomi (Finnish)

Yes, Meänkieli is a likely candidate because it is mentioned at 0:16 and 0:19, I think.
