New Caledonia?

Is it at least Central–Eastern Oceanic?

I already guessed that.

It is indeed a Central-Eastern Oceanic language, but it isn't spoken in New Caledonia.

Is it a Southeast Solomonic language then?

Is it a Guadalcanal language? And if not then is it a Malaita language?

It is a Malaita language.

Here’s the next text then:

Mie gohun nai kakai agate sta ha moo. Zin no imi wagaru, Shuhui kore gau ha. Zainalite renshi, wa gonata. Suhu agate sta zin yaba yinnga. Isya yuta kono byoki naonang. Gako skruy tikang. Ngasan doko waha huahua to benkyo uta. Anta no hoyin ga qalux no? Wagi mietala yaba myasa. Ngate mote sta. Moo yaʼehta ha moo zin ni, rakara kore miete sta. Kinoo tota toki, honto yobu Sumei, yaʼehteru moo.

(Again, this is a grammar without a sample text, so I just took some random sample sentences.)

I’d say it isn’t.

Looks like a mix of Japanese and some other language - so is it Yilan Creole Japanese?

Yes.

(Y’know, I had thought that I had finally managed to find a language which no-one else had ever heard of — guess not!)

Eskimo-Aleut?

EDIT: It looks a bit like Iñupiaq — could that be it?

It's neither of these.

Well, is it North American at least? If not, I guess South America.

Karch · Post by **Karch** » Thu Jul 30, 2020 6:38 am

Again neither of these.
