There is quite a bit of Arabic in this recording, I think, but I don’t recognise it as any variety of Arabic I am familiar with … It could also be something else, such as Turkic or some other language spoken by Muslims that is heavily charged with Arabic loans. The acoustic quality is pretty poor unfortunately …
I’m guessing it might be Moro, based on what I think is a retroflex rhotic and apparent height vowel harmony.
The mystery language is Budukh (Будад мез), a Lezgian language spoken mainly in northeastern Azerbaijan.
