Can you identify the language, and do you know where it’s spoken?

A dialect of Arabic but no idea which one, not Judeo Arabic but their is a hint of Iranian I am sure someone knows better.
Think it’s more Cushitic than Semitic and spoken in Eastern Africa. Maybe Afar in Djibouti?
Here’s a clue: it is a Semitic language, but isn’t a dialect of Arabic.
I’m guessing Soqotri, since the only Semitic languages I know of outside the West and Ethiopic groups (neither of which this sounds like) are the South Semitic languages. With my recent luck, if it is a South Semitic one, it will be a different one from my guess!
Amharic?
Argobba, perhaps?
The answer is Tigre (ትግረ), a South Semitic language spoken mainly in Eritrea, and also in Sudan.
