Re: Name That Language!
Aero was the closest - since his guess was geographically closest and he also mentioned the language the sample text was in - it was Tsat.

Re: Name That Language!
It's not Maonan either.
By the way, it'd probably be faster if you tried to guess this language using descriptive questions, rather than rattling off names of random languages from the region.

Re: Name That Language!
Does it have /ɣ/? No idea, the paper I took the examples from doesn't say anything about the phonology. Is it Sinitic? It's not. Is using the WALS to narrow down the set of possible languages in accord with the rules? Technically yes, but I would discourage it, as it's even more "boring" ...

Re: Name That Language!
By now I'm afraid the only way to guess this language is to look up phonology papers for various languages that might look like the sample text, so I did that, and after failing to find any language that'd match the sample text, I started reading about languages of Madang province, and coincidentall...

Re: Name That Language!
I'm afraid I'm the only one here who has the ability (Nortaneous might as well, but I don't know), but even I'm stumped here - hence the very broad questions - it could be from any area of the country! But I'll try - is it spoken in Gulf province?
