Language Quiz 3 December 20232 December 2023 By Simon Here’s a recording in a mystery language. http://www.omniglot.com/soundfiles/blog/quiz031223.mp3 Do you know or can you guess the language?
I must agree with Daniel. Sound very Mandarin in some respects but I thought I heard a sound or two that was closer to Cantonese.
The language is Taiwanese (臺語 / Tâi-gí), a variety of Mǐn Nán (Southern Min – a Sinitic language) spoken in Taiwan. The recording comes from YouTube
Definitely SIno-Tibetan, probably Sinitic. Not Mandarin.
