Language quiz 18 March 2012 By Simon Here’s a recording in a mystery language. Can you identify the language, and do you know where it’s spoken?
Judging from the accent, it must be one of those tonal African languages, but it also sounds a bit Asian. Reply
– The indigenous language of Taiwan, perhaps?? References to ‘Yeshua’ and the ‘Amen’ at the end point to the fact that this passage is some sort of Biblical account. Reply
Wow, I figured this one out unexpectedly fast! It’s Akha. See http://globalrecordings.net/en/program/C06760. Reply
Vijay John is right – the answer is Akha, a Lolo-Burmese language spoken in Burma, China, Laos, Thailand and Vietnam. Reply
