It was more than a month since the last guess, I think it's time to provide a new sample. (The previous one was Yareni Zapotec.)

Here is a new one:
Mowke nom nenel æye dekrame.
Yaw nom diyme tiyle dəwæykayme.
Mæy dupuy'e nom æypiyneney dəkrayme.
Tapwo dokwo, rom æye reyke dilyame, dilyame rapame.
Kewlakere rom dupuyame - tur tur tur.
Orthography is that of source minus hyphens indicating morpheme boundaries.
I do not know if it is the orthography that is used, or whether the language is regularly written down at all.
Edit as of 11/2 17:50 CET: corrected a spelling mistake. "Romdupyame" in the last line was changed to "rom dupuyame"
