  1. There is something in the voice that makes me think it is influenced by Spanish (perhaps in a Spanish- speaking environment). I also wonder if it might come from the Indian subcontinent from some of the “R” sounds in it. Finally, the whole language seems to be like something I would expect from the Caucasus. Maybe this might narrow things down?! Lol

    1. In addition, it sounds somewhat artificial, like a conlang, at least to me. And that narrows things really down, doesn’t it?

  2. According to Simon’s clue this language is spoken in “northern Australia” – which could refer to the Northern Territory of Australia or perhaps to some parts of neighbouring Queensland (including the Torres Straits Islands).

  3. There’s definitely a lot of “rr” and “tj” sounds in this, but it seems like a lot of Arnhem and central Aussie languages have these sounds. Maybe Warlpiri? Based on how the speaker is talking, this definitely seems like a moribund language.
