I’d guess it’s one of the Indian Indo-european languages
Nepali?
Phew. I really have no clue. Some of the word-initial plosives sound Hindi-esque, but I don’t recognize a shred of the vocabulary, if it’s in the Indic families… so it would have to be one that’s pretty well-separated.
Man. That’s a tough one.
Kashmiri? (I just guess this time. Northern India at least. The only words I recognised are a name: Kumar Singh).
I think it’s Punjabi.
Sounds vaguely Indian… Punjabi, or maybe Sindhi?
To my East Asian oriented ears, it almost sounded Korean, though not. I’d guess a South-east Asian language, perhaps Indonesian.
without looking at the other comments, nepali?
It’s Subcontinental, but from further north than Punjabi, Hindi or Urdu I think. Based on the names and the endings of the words, I’m guessing it’s Nepali.
More words: “Shree”, which is a title of honour in many indian languages and “lokhand”..khand means realm or (spiritual) region in punjabi. But the recording does not sound pure punjabi to me….
Wow. Before I saw the answer I was going to guess one of the Eastern European languages. Nepali is nowhere near what I would have guessed. I’m going to study to be either a physicist or linguist in college, but after this experience I might have to give “linguist” a second look.
Its srilankan ,the abc of which i dont know because iam a tamilian in the indian part tamilnadu.I recognise it as one of the dravidian languages used in the southern parts of the indian sub continent and adjoining islands.

The language is Nepali and the recording comes from Radio Nepal.
