I tend to think along the same lines as Elendil. It definitely sounds like a Sino-Tibetan language, just one that has more archaic features than the eastern (Sinitic) languages. So since we have a new “Writing” entry for Mizo this week and the sample text seems not too far from the sound of this recording, I’m going to hazard a guess that this is what the language is. (Mizo.)
This sounds very Tibeto-Burman. Most likely one of the many mutually unintelligible Chin/Zomi dialects.
Sounds like a cross between Navajo, Romanian, and Chinese. That is to say, no idea.
Could this be one of the Tungus Altaic languages like Evenki or Goldi.
No idea what this may be. Mapudungun/Araucanian?

The answer is Mizo (Mizo ṭawng), a Tibeto-Burman spoken mainly in India, and also in Burma and Bangladesh. Well guessed Chris!
