Let's try this again.

Пыра теруда таня?
"Do you have any luggage?"

Two levels up in language nerdom if you can identify to which (sub-)dialect this phrase belongs.

I think this is Udmurt.

Like Udmurt, the script is Cyrillic but as I mentioned earlier, the sentence doesn't come from a Finno-Ugric (or Slavonic, for that matter) language

I'll put a couple of new sentences in this mystery language. Ignore the one that I offered as the initial clue.

Пыp хaняд тocaн?
Maњ Hapъян-Mapкад тocaм.

As before, you gain two levels more in language nerdom by also determining to which (sub)dialect the preceding belong.

Right... I'm now pretty sure it's Itelmen, but I have no idea what dialect it could be. Maybe Sedanka?

It's not Itelmen.

The best hint is probably in the second sentence. Read the sentence aloud as if it were badly mispelled Russian because if I were to translate it, it'd probably make it too easy.

How about Nenets?

Where did you come from? I came from Naryan-Mar (the red city).

Not sure about the dialect though.
