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

Good luck folks. I’m putting myself down as utterly at a loss.
If forced to say something I’d say a language from Eurasia that isn’t Sinitic, which probably narrows it down to tens of thousands of possibilities.
There are sounds that make me think it is a Semitic language or a Turkic one. The music so suggests. But I also wonder if it has a Berber background. Hmmmmm.
Can’t wait to find out. I am sure that among the folks who do these there is bound to be SOMEONE who knows.
Maybe Armenian? repeating of ‘an’ at the end of words. and Turkish name? Ayazlu.
It sounds to me Turkish but not Ottoman – the Ottoman is softer – but Uzbek or Azeri. it’s only an attempt to guess …
While I agree with the general opinions already mentioned, I’ll add this tongue-in-cheek:
The language is a little-known dialect from the south of Toril and is spoken at Game Cons everywhere.
Well, tongue in cheek or not, that makes about as much sense as anything else I can guess!
The answer is Udi (удин муз), a Northeast Caucasian language spoken mainly in Azerbaijan, and also in Russia, Georgia and Armenia.
It is very difficult to know if it is any Northern Caucasian language. We have never approached to guess it. It seemed to me Azeri because ‘aiyazlu’ I think it means terrible in that language … at least Udi is spoken in Azerbaijan …
