Some sounds in this recording – pharyngeals, for example – are reminiscent of an Afro-Asiatic language.
I would agree with Emanuel. The acoustics make it a bit hard to tell much though but maybe my hearing is going!
Apart from ‘kilometer’ there are also some Arabic words, e.g. ‘sawaareekh’ (missiles), or so I think … But it’s not Arabic in my opinion, rather some North African Berber language perhaps.
I think it’s a Modern South Arabian language. Most likely it’s Mehri, or maybe Shehri.
I am going for Tarifit, Tamazight or some related language of Morocco.
