Can someone help me determine in which part of the world this individual likely resides?

Postby AshleyQuick » Wed Mar 21, 2018 8:53 pm

Hi all! New here and I'm hoping I can get some insight. Can you listen to this short mp3 clip and let me know your best determination on the nationality/origin of this accent?

At first I thought India but then wondered if it could be Scandinavian? Thanks so much!

It doesn't sound like any Scandinavian language I know. Where did you get the file?

India or Pakistan would be my first guess.

My GUESS is Slavic but I don’t speak any Slavic language.

Will you know definitively when you get the email? Please let us know!
