Guess the Language, anyone?

[Nortaneous]

Nias?

[din]

Nias?

That sounds about right

[Herr Dunkel]

Yeah, it's Nias, good job!

That's gotta be a Samoyedic language. Am I right?

[Tropylium]

Nah, Samoyedic langs mostly do not have spirant consonants other than /x/, and I see quite a few /f v z ɣ/ in there. All the spiritus asper at least suggests something Caucasian, and the lack of /q/ could be used to narrow it down further. Avar, perhaps?

[Hallow XIII]

Mator.

[Herr Dunkel]

The half-ring rather points to Afro-Asiatic. Semitic?

[Nortaneous]

No to all.

[Herr Dunkel]

This stuff is really weird: ʿ ņķɣχčřy

Let's at least try to get the general area right. Subsaharan Africa?

[Qwynegold]

Some kind of Berber?

[R.Rusanov]

Looks like Tamazigh to me. The western dialect, specifically.

[Nortaneous]

No to all.

The transcription used is probably specific to the paper/author I pulled the text from. If the language has a standard Latin transcription, I don't know of it.

There's a difference between half-rings and apostrophes.

[Tropylium]

This stuff is really weird: ʿ ņķɣχčřy

Let's at least try to get the general area right. Subsaharan Africa?

I'd suspect that ‹ř› is transcribes /ʁ/, and Subsaharan Africa is not especially well-known for languages having uvular consonants. Or any vowels that could be reasonably transcribed as ‹y›.

[Cedh]

Something Iranian?

[Nortaneous]

No.

[Porphyrogenitos]

Something Tungusic or Paleo-Siberian?

[Xephyr]

Nivkh?

[Nortaneous]

Nivkh.

Following Nesescosac's example, I won't answer family or zone questions during the first 12 hours.

[Herr Dunkel]

Obviously North American. We can't basically do anything without family/zone questions now tho
Does it border the Siouan languages?

[Porphyrogenitos]

Kwak'wala?

[vo1dwalk3r]

Haida?

[Xephyr]

It is neither Kwakwala nor Haida.
