Name the language

Here is a short text in a mystery language sent in by Shair Ahmed. Do you know or can you guess which language it is?

Tíobáhai hi báaiso kohoaihíaisóogabagaí. Tí ‘ísi báaiso ‘ogabagai, gíiai ‘ogihíaihiaba. Tíobáhai hi ‘ísi báaiso ‘oaboihaí. ‘Ahoakohoaihio ‘ísi kaopápihaí.

Clue: the name of this language looks a bit fishy.
