The timbre of the voice strikes me as Italian, so I guess this is a Romance language spoken in Italy (Art. 1, UDHR).
It doesn’t sound like a form of Ladin or Furlan to me. If it is spoken in northern Italy, this could be a variety of Venetian, perhaps …
I would agree with Emanuel as to its being a form of Italian. I looked at every example of the reading which HAS to be Art 1, UDHR but I could find nothing that sounded exactly like it. I think it must be a form of Romansh but can’t put my finger on it.
Actually, I think it may be a form of Romanian. The “i” for the plural isn’t pronounced, but palatalizes the “t” before it: direți, e.g.
Romansh is spoken in Switzerland. This language is from northern Italy according to a clue from Simon on Radio Omniglot …
Could it be Gallurese from northern Sardinia?
It is a form of Ladin after all – Col Ladin, spoken in Colle, Belluno province, Veneto. I never new that Ladin dialects are so diverse!
The mystery language is indeed Ladin, a Gallo-Romance language spoken in northern Italy. The recording is specifically in Col Ladin (Ladin da Col), a variety of Ladin spoken in Livinallongo del Col di Lana in the Province of Belluno in the region of Veneto.
