Language Quiz 25 June 202324 June 2023 By Simon Here’s a recording in a mystery language. http://www.omniglot.com/soundfiles/blog/quiz250623.mp3 Do you know or can you guess the language?
My first reaction is an African language not necessarily Bantu and might be a Creole influenced by French. Certain sounds resemble French. Reply
I agree with Hank that this is probably an African language but am not sure about the French Creole. French influence is not necessary to explain what sounds like nasal vowels in the recording. The language could also be tonal. Reply
The language is Konobo, a Western Kru language spoken in Liberia. The recording comes from YouTube Reply
