It sounds very much like something from Asia but I also think I hear sounds from both the Caucasian families as well as North American indigenous ones. Hmmmm.
Native American, I’d say, perhaps from the US or Canada.
I sent in a guess this afternoon via my phone but it doesn’t seem to have “arrived” yet. I will wit and see if it does before making any sort of statement.
It sounds like something from the west coast of Canada/Pacific Northwest of the US but I also hear sounds I associate with the Caucasus.
I don’t hear enough postvelar consonants to support it being Na-Dene or in one of the Caucasian families. On the other hand, I also don’t hear complex consonant clusters, so the Salishan family is probably also out.
It sounds Algonquian but… I’m not sure.
Yes, Algic is possible, maybe something related to Cheyenne.
The language is Tlahuitoltepec Mixe (Ayuujk), a Mixe-Zoque language spoken in parts of Oaxaca in southern Mexico.
