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

Is this a language of insular Southeast Asia? It sounds sort of like a languages of the Philippines or Indonesia, but with lots of central vowels. If I’m not wrong with this initial assessment, my sort of random guess would be Acehnese.
I was going to guess ‘Austronesian’, but I eventually realized it is probably the same thing as ‘of insular Southeast Asia’, what with Latin insula = Greek νήσος, and English south = Latin austro. But maybe there’s some technical distinction between the two concepts so I’ll post my guess anyways.
I think this language is from the Southeast Asian countries. I feel like it’s related to Hindu.
I think it’s one of the Malay-related varieties from Sumatra in Indonesia, but I couldn’t make a guess as to which one.
Jim M. – it is a Malay-related variety, and is spoken mainly in Kalimantan.
The language is Banjar(ese) (Bahasa Banjar), a Malayic language spoken in parts of Indonesia and Malaysia.
