Re: Irikad and Qorbuch: are they real natlangs?
Irikad and Qorbuch are complete bullshit. I watched the drama unfold - the person who purported to speak them (because all the purported "speakers" were just alts of one person) often said stuff that was obviously made up (e.g. Irikad's "germanic roots") - and even claimed to be ...

Re: Name That Language!
It's simple! Moloko is probably the most well-known Biu-Mandara language (and I've seen Nort talk about it before) due to being analyzed as having one phonemic vowel - so I guessed and got it right.

Re: Name That Language!
1 is Chechen. 2 is a Biu-Mandara language from Cameroon (the ones in Nigeria use <tl dl> for /ɬ ɮ/), but I have no idea other than that. Moloko?

Re: Name That Language!
This one's clearly from Southeast Asia, probably one of those weird minority languages of the China/Burma/Thailand border, but besides that I have no idea. Is it Sino-Tibetan?

Re: Name That Language!
It's indeed Tlacoatzintepec Chinantec, written in the new orthography, which uses various punctuation marks for the tones, acute accent for ballistic syllables, and <ɇ> for what's presumably /ǝ/.
