I wrote (in Arabic) Southern Yukaghir, and in Hebrew Odun (aka Odul), a language spoken in the Russian Far East.
I could read the Hebrew Odun but couldn’t find it on the list in “Language Profiles” so I just put down Awing. Still a mystery language all right!
Yes, it is – and also moribund. I’m still not sure, though, whether the other name of Yukaghir is Odul or Odun …
The mystery language is Tundra Yukaghir (Вадул аруу), a Yukaghir language spoken in the Far East region of the Russian Federation, particularly in the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia)

Simon, this is interesting: It seems to me that the same recording is not only featured on Omniglot under Tundra (Northern) Yukaghir but also under Forest (Southern) Yukaghir – where I found it.
