Here’s a recording in two mystery languages.
Do you know, or can you guess, the languages? Are they related?
The second language starts at 31 seconds.
These quizzes are normally published every Sunday, and the answers are given the following Saturday here in the comments.
They could be related or they have borrowed from eachother. The reason is the (approximately) third word in each recording: kalaangit and kálange, respectively.
And if those two languages are spoken in the Philippines there is a very high probability that they are both Austronesian, and therefore related.
I seem to feel that is i fro the Philippines and certainly religious in character (the first being a prayer and the second fro many of the religious stories one sees n clips on Language Profiles with the music in the background.
The first mystery language is Isnag, a member of the Northern Luzon branch of Philippine languages spoken in the provinces of Apayao, Cagayan, Ilocos Norta and Abra in the north of Luzon in the Philippines:
The second mystery language is Blaan (B’laan), a member of the South Mindanao branch of the Philippine language family spoken in the Soccsksargen and Davao regions in the south of Mindanao in the Philippines.
The text is the Lord’s Prayer, and these languages are related as they both belong to the Philippine language family.
Simon,
The link for ‘Blaan’ takes you to ‘Isnag’.
Happy new year! (Blein vie noa!)
Alright, so the cognates are apparently and .
Something went missing: lángit and langit!
