Language Quiz 4 February 20243 February 2024 By Simon Here’s a recording in a mystery language. http://www.omniglot.com/soundfiles/blog/quiz040224.mp3 Do you know, or can you guess, the language?
The accent and timbre of the voice makes me guess it’s some language from the Philippines or maybe from South America.
The language is Murrinh-Patha, an Australian Aboriginal language spoken on the western coast of Australia’s Northern Territory. The recording comes from YouTube
