hmm I can’t see the player. Something wrong with my browser maybe?
I noticed that the player I usually use wasn’t appearing yesterday and am trying to find one that works.
It appears in the RSS feed version…
maybe somewhere in indochina – burmese border
OK I listened to it now.
Not sure exactly, but seems from southeast Asia.
I agree, I’m willing to go with the guess that it’s one of those minority languages in Myanmar (and possibly one of the Thai Hill Tribes languages).
Sounds like from Tibeto-Burman language family. I remember have heard Burmese in previous post here, so perhaps it’s Tibetan or dialects spoken in Tibet?
my guess – zaiwa
I have my doubts; it doesn’t sound like Tibetan to me. I think I’ll continue to stick with my previous guess.
The answer is Sedang, an Austro-Asiatic language spoken in eastern Laos and south central Vietnam.
