Language Quiz 23 November 202523 November 2025 By Simon Here’s a recording in a mystery language. http://www.omniglot.com/soundfiles/blog/quiz231125.mp3 Do you know, or can you guess, the language?
Areal poser! The timbre f the voice makes me think it is African (Bantu perhaps but not sure) while the end of some words remind me of an indigenous North American language. Maybe also something from South America. Reply
Well, Hank, looks like the guess in your last sentence may be correct: Simon says that this language is spoken in the northwest of Brazil. Reply
The mystery language is TuparÃ, a Tupian language spoken mainly in the state of Rondônia in the North Region of Brazil. Reply
