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

It’s either an Austronesian language or one of those language they speak in India that’s not Indo-Iranian or Dravidian… To be honest I’m not very good at language quizzes like this 😖
Judging from the sound of “hai” I hear at the end of some lines (which make me think of Hindi)
AND a retroflex “R” sound I think it is very much a language spoken on the Indian subcontinent.
As to any sort of language family I plead complete ignorance!
I’m with Hank on this. I thought I heard IE-form inflections.
The answer is Rohingya (Ruáingga / رُاَࣺينڠَ) , an eastern Indo-Aryan language spoken in northern Rakhine State (Arakan) in Burma / Myanmar and in the neighbouring Chiittagong Division of Bangladesh.
