Language quiz 18 April 2009 By Simon Here’s a recording in a mystery language. Do you know or can you guess which language it’s in and where it’s spoken?
Farrioth seema pretty certain, and I can’t listen to it on my Ipod, so I’ll trust him. (: Also, why can’t we post on the forum? ):
I was going to say definitely western Pacific/melanesian/austronesian in origin, and will stick with everyone else’s guess of tok pisin, of PNG. 🙂 d.m.f. (Nice to see the blog return, though I wonder of the older entries at this time are even needed, and just start fresh, like the forum has…)
The language is Tok Pisin, which is spoken in Papua New Guinea. The recording comes from Radio Australia.
