Yet another Sino-Tibetan language?
(If not that, it’s probably Austronesian.)

It wouldn't be Papuan by any chance would it?

It's not Sino-Tibetan, Austronesian, or Papuan.

Okay, so not Chibchan, not Uto-Aztecan, not Totonacan. There's no way it's Mayan and it definitely ain't Mixe-Zoquean. Misumalpan?
