What language is it?

Postby Obogrew » Fri Jan 29, 2016 4:23 am

Hi everybody.
I am trying to find out what is this language, no success since several months.
Any idea?
It is neither Farsi, nor Basque.
It is mixture with English, but what language?

The English parts sound very Caribbean. I'm thinking St. Lucian Creole.

Thank you very much. Never assumed that it can be any creole language.
I've heard it in front of the gym, the lady was talking by phone. It took me 3 minutes before I found out how to make recordings on my phone, therefore I recorded only several seconds. I should have done more. The lady was white. If she would be an African or Asian or native american, I would not pay attention. But usually I am able to distinguish almost all languages spoken by white people, but this one was not similar to anything. I asked Persians, Basque, north African people no one knows what is it.

The immigrants very often mix up native language with country languages, many Russians in Germany use to talk half Russian, half German. I thought it is the case.

As for creole I heard how people speak in Belize. I would call it unclear English. I hear that the people speak English, nevertheless I cannot understand any word. But here, listening to that for 3 minutes I have not noticed any flavor of French or Spanish.
