Old Church Slavonic?

Is it something South American?

I think it's Tungusic - is it Nanai?

Nesescosac got it -- Nanai! You're up!

(Since I didn't check in in time to spot Nivkh, I thought it would be nice to bring one of its neighbors to the party...)

I play with an added rule when I host: no questions on language family will be answered until 24 hours have passed.

Haha qalota rañi'ačik. Nagi hayem'olek maši 'igayki. Qaqka nagi nwi ran'on. Qalqa'a nagi ñi'ačik'olek haha. Naywalpi waqtega kan'on. Neget to'okokǎ? Sasawana kamari. Sañawane' ka'arina sañawane' kayirwa. Ndotrek namayče ñiqar'olqay haha. Negetto ram roqšik l'enagak.

Is it Native American? South American?

Aymara?

He might not have specified but I expect he won't answer questions relating to continents either. Moxo?

I'm a she. And now that 24 hours have passed, it is South American, but not Moxo.

Is it Chipaya?

Quechua dialect??? Is it Arawakan or Cariban???

Cuzco Quechua? It has q ejective and q, but I am not sure what a with caron stands for.

One at a time, please - in future I'll answer only your last question.

As it happens, it's not any of those.

Nambikwara?

Nope! I'm getting bored of hosting so I'll say that the language is spoken in Argentina.

Could it be Mapundugun?

I was tempted to suggest that earlier, since the text reminded me of the little bit I've read about it. But then I really haven't read about other S.A. languages, and what are the odds it would happen to be that one? But, if it's from Argentina... I'll take the shot.

Toba Qom?

Presumably creaky voice. On which note, Jalapa Mazatec?

Katu?

No. It is in Africa, and the Tildes under the vowels are a common thing in the country it came from.
