Guess the Language!

Is it natively written in a different alphabet than Cyrillic?

Is it Afro-asiatic?


No, that's its official writing system.

No, it's not Afro-Asiatic.

I see palochkas, they only occur in Caucasian languages. They mark ejective consonanst. But these palochkas aren't always following a consonant, in which case it is a glottal stop. This practice is only used in very few languages, so let's guess:

Kabardian?

It is indeed a language of the Caucasus. But not Kabardian.

That was one long moment. But here we are:

Quote:
Wal det yanggel neim Meri bin pramis langa Josef. Bat bifo dubala bin merrit, det Holi Spirit bin gibit im beibi. Bat Josef nomo bin sabi tharran deya. Imbin reken det yanggel bin go langa najawan men, en blanga tharran na imbin jidan femiliwei.

Wal Josef bin gudbala men, en imbin jinggabat blanga libum det yanggel kwaitbalawei, dumaji im nomo bin wandi meigim im sheim.

"Next to"? Do you mean "spoken by Austronesian people (as a second language)" or "spoken in Austronesia"?

Is the sample text religious?
I suppose it is spoken somewhere between Southeast Asia and Australia.
It doesn't look like Tok Pisin or Bislama.
So... Australian Kriol, maybe?
