Nope.

It is or was spoken in Canada and/or the United States. I don't think you need more geographical information than that, honestly.

It is not Salishan.

Haisla?
I did have a bizarrely similar (to the original poster's) accident about four years ago, in which I slipped over a cookie and somehow twisted my ankle so far that it broke
What kind of cookie?

Is it Coast or Southern Tsimshian? (I think those are close enough to count as one guess.)

It is not Makah (or Nuu-chah-nulth), as I would've counted Nitinaht as correct if it were. It is also not Coast Tsimshian or South Tsimshian.

You guys already guessed all the Wakashan languages. So no. :-)

Gosh darn it. I was almost there. For some reason I thought Eyak didn't have nasal vowels.

Hey, cool! Anyways, here's my mysterylang:
ngô:do kûk l'àrtâ:lagî:ka,
mō:ro el:ma kâ igbâ:dàla
mō:ro el:mo lê aden:yarà
pō:-tōt läh.
aden:yarà pō:-tōt läh.
The colons seem to break up morphemes, but I'm not entirely certain. Hopefully the language isn't too obscure (or just the opposite). We'll see.
