Name That Language!

[Zju]

Sorry, I completely forgot about this. Here's a new sample text:

Ba̱re nʼribi ipa̱ cima. Ga̱n tini dura̱. Ga̱n sha̱pi ipa̱. Ga̱n ka̱ta̱ni keke naa te̱nde̱. Ga̱n ipi cima. Ma̱ni mʼba ne̱ na̱ rwaga. Ga̱n shii bikeke na̱ hunrun na ro. Ga̱n ka̱ciga̱ni rwaga na̱ buna. Ga̱a̱n hwan cima. Ashira̱ ba páshi. Ga̱a̱n hwan cima ji na shira̱.
Na shira̱ ba zhe̱e̱n ga̱n ha̱nka̱ni na̱m pa̱paga. Buʼa̱ niimi bwa iye̱ shami na mbo. Na̱ shurugo ga̱n huri giyo. Na ga̱n wuci ina, ga̱n zware̱ ma̱ni. Ga̱n shani mariga̱ nama zuma. Ga̱n ha̱nka̱ni.

Is it spoken in Sub-Saharan Africa? Central Africa maybe?

[Karch]

It is indeed spoken in Sub-Saharan Africa.

[Birdlang]

Is it a Chadic language?
If not, is it a Kordofanian language?

[bradrn]

Central Nigerian? The orthography is reminiscent of one Nortaneous posted earlier.

[Karch]

It is indeed spoken in Central Nigeria.

[bradrn]

It is indeed spoken in Central Nigeria.

Sorry, I was a bit vague. I meant Central Nigerian a.k.a. Platoid, the language family.

[Karch]

It is a Platoid language.

[bradrn]

Is it a Kainji language? If so, I’m guessing either Jere or a Kambari language.

[Karch]

It is a Kainji language, but it is neither Jere nor a Kambari language.

[bradrn]

Could it be Ca̱hungwa̱rya̱ (a.k.a. Ngwe) then? Based on this the phonology looks about right, and a search for grapheme ⟨a̱⟩ gives Ca̱hungwa̱rya̱ as the only African language which uses ⟨a̱⟩.

Is my guess correct? It’s been five days and I still don’t know if I got it right.

[bradrn]

I got tired of waiting, so I decided to just look up the answer on Google. Turns out I was wrong — it isn’t Ca̱hungwa̱rya̱. I can’t make any more guesses now since I already know the answer; does anyone else want to guess what language it is?

Lay it on us; there's a point where impatience outweighs purity

I must admit I’m not quite sure what you’re asking here (or who you’re asking it to!).

[fusijui]

You're the only one who's been working on this the last week, so why not go ahead and give the answer — and the next mystery test?

Oh, all right. From a simple Google search, looks like it was Pangu, from this primer.

(Note: This grammar had no sample text, so I just took some random glossed sentences from the grammar.)
