It's definitely not Korean and it doesn't really sound like Japanese either (I haven't studied Japanese, but have heard it enough that I usually recognize it as Japanese when I hear it). It sounds tonal to me and somewhat reminds me of Thai, but I don't really know anything of Thai to be certain either way. I know someone who is Thai, though, so I could send it to her and see if she what she thinks.

I wouldn't bet that it's Korean or Vietnamese. It doesn't quite seem like Thai either unless it's something divergent from what I've heard when sampling Thai in a news broadcast. It does sound vaguely like a Chinese language but that's as far as I can get it. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Definitely reminds barely of Chinese. But I will be honest, a friend I have back in the United States is from Zimbabwe and towards the end of the recording it sounds very similar to one of the languages he speaks.
It definitely feels Asian, but towards the end of it I keep seeing his face. lol... I have no idea. Where did you get the recording? 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Someone sent me the recording as a challenge; I've talked to people conversant with many languages, but so far there is no consensus as to what this language is.
Could it be Swahili-? 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Ha, I don't think it is Swahili, but he speaks another language that I cant spell correctly but the name sounds sort of not quite like "dagali", but that language has clicks in it.
I was just throwing it out there in case all the searching turns up with nothing and you want to look in Africa. Though, my money is definitely on an Asian language. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Interesting challenge. If it's Vietnamese, then I can't decipher what it says. Neither it sounds much like Vietnamese, as far as I can tell. (Not that I'm any authority, of course.) The first part is approximately gia số khí khảo theo tù. Or maybe gia só gí khẩu tuyển từ. But I can't find convincing google results to support any of those renderings.

I got a reply from the native Thai speaker:
"It’s not Thai. Sounds to me like Chinese based language." 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

It may be Chaozhou dialect. I'll verify later with a native speaker.
