Tzina, you're so right about indoeuropean languages.
Btw, for curiosity, I learnt today at history about some changes and influences in slavic languages. It may be slavic, it tends to be serbian, but some lost dialect from South of Mehedinti (continuos of the Romanian Carpathians), in the South of Dunare. I'm sure 60% because that zone were such a "problem one" for the serbians.
This connot be Romanian because we do not have in our grammar letters like that. We have some exceptions like : ă, î, ş, ţ, â. And these came from turkish influences.
It might be some african dialect, but I don't remember the africans to play like he said.
And it's sure it's from Balkans because it has the particularities of a balkan language.
Greatings.

I'm not a linguist so some things I'm trying to explain them with my logic (meaning how I would call them). Of course that means that I may be wrong in some things(or even all). I didn't knew that Turkish belongs to the Altay language group. I don't know how the linguists make these kind of classifications(I thought till now based on the place where they were "born", but that is obviously wrong). Some of the questions I do is to learn what I don't know (they are not ironic in any way, even if sometimes they may seem so. I assure you in Greek they don't seem like that)

It's obvious Tzina. I do the same 
Well, for me is still a mistery this place of the birth of languages. Anyway, every linguist has his own theory.
Btw, this summer I know you had smoe problems near to your home with the fires. How are now that places ?

It might me the language of the Roma. This would also explain why there is nothing about it on the internet, looking at the fact, that the Roma scarcley have acces to this media.
It also still might be a celtic language. I know someone ruled out Irish Gaelic, but what about Scottish? Or Cornish, Breton, Manx and Welsh? They are not that similar as far as I know.
Oh, and it´s not German or Polish  And personally I must say that it does not sound slavic to me at all.

Oh they have two of my favorite colors (black (burned trees) and brown(of the soil, which now it can be seen))  (yeap it's black humour!!). But the colors are trully from my favorites. In some days they gona have a kind of pretty dark-brown color (the mud of the rains down there) (again black humor!!).

I'm positive it's not Scottish. Scottish doesn't use accents.
To me it looks slavic.

Well.. in one of my many google actions on this subject I've ran into a site with Old Church Slavonic using some of the words from the text..
But it didn't seem quite possible so I ruled out that idea
However, it is definitely not
# East Slavic = Russian, Ukrainian, Belarusian, Rusyn
# South Slavic
* Western Slavic = Serbian, Slovenian, Croatian and Bosnian
* Eastern subgroup composed of Bulgarian and Macedonian
# West Slavic
* Czech and Slovak
* Lechitic languages: Polish...
= i wouldnt know about these though...
* Upper and Lower Sorbian (minority languages in Germany)
* Lechitic languages: ...Pomeranian/ Kashubian and extinct Polabian

For sure it's not any languages from Southeast Asia and the Far East...

Definitely not Icelandic.  (ETA: because I can partially read Icelandic - I studied Norse, the forerunner of Icelandic and Norwegian, at school for a year)
I'm guessing it's a Latinised transcription of a non-indo-European language.
Or someone pulling our leg.

Maybe it's an Asian langauge like vietnamese or cambodian or Lao
Or Maybe it's some Native American language.
It also kinda looks like Finndlish.

No, Finnish is heavy on doube letters (vowels and consonants alike), which the provided lyric totally lacks.

Ok, people, Propel has posted this few pages back, so I don't think, that we, who are not linguists, can guess a name of an language, that existed around 1400...
I leave here this quoted text for one more time
Quote:

..." In other news, linguists from different countires in the Eurpean Area, are debating about where this language came from. The linguists thought this language would have been most active around the 1400's. There are records and writings of this language that appear to be around that date of time. They found these records around the area's of where the current contries of Czechoslovika, Poland, Ukraine, and in the southern tip of Belarus. They belive that this might be a type of a Slavic language because of where the orgins are. But as the linguists studied the words, they do not appear Slavic. So why did the linguists think they were Slavic? Well, most of the reasons were to this; 1. The origins where the records were collected, 2. The sounds of the words, or 3. The spelling and letters. Other linguists argue otherwise. They do not say it is Slavic. They say that, "The words cannot honestly be Slavic. If you look at the words, most of them do not even to have the Slavic sounds that we know of!", a linguist from Warsaw, Poland added. They are wanting this discussion to stay in the European Area, but that is easier said than done. Only certian countries are allowed to debate this. As of today, (7 - 12 - 06) this debate will still continue until they decide what language family this language belongs too, and the 2 most important questions, What is this language called, and Is it still alive today?
Below are some of the examples of some of the words (with pronouciations) and you can decide for yourself if they are Slavic or not.
Kulna lournia ( kool-nah low-er-ni-ah )- From the land
Enuyvelagh ( eh-nu-vi-leh-kah) - Everything
Cione (sy-oh-neh) - Speaking
Kyzerki (ki-ser-ki) - To walk
Miglaji (mih-gh-la-gi) - Moving
Anatay (ah-nah-tai) - Anything
Avzgoї (ahv-zeh-goy) - To have
Tarne (tah-er-neh) - To eat
Voer (vow-er) - To decive
Texau (tehk-ser-ah) - Read (to have the power to read)
Rbour (ruh-bow-uhr) - Finish (Terminate)
Here is one of the records that were found. This is provided with the English translation and with the unknown language.
"From the heavens to the depths of the sea; he who is not greatful; will decive from the light. This light as we call it ''External" peace; from he who has giving of his heart; to have and to cherish..."
"Zernu muler ayskzi Nier ausay onk sutú; muac anadrilnїa; pasin atai sabiydi. Súbiydi habu dif stern neba "Agovsisour" sizh; dru múal ovan de sukaun; avzgoї triytu moluda..."

Dear PROPEL, I am pretty sure, that "leg pulling" was more meant as a joke, and it was not directed at you at all..
And I also am very sure, that you have not made this up.

Might as well be someone pulling YOUR leg. It can't be a totally unknown language if there is a modern recording of it. Might be someone doing a major practical joke. Where did you find the transcribed lyric in the first flace?

Guys, Moldavian is a corrupt variant of Romanian, so as I am Romanian, no it isn t Moldavian!
For those who do not know, Moldavia belonged once to Romania, but it has been taken by Russia after the War, while there was still the great URSS and now it is trying to become an independent country called Moldavia Republic.We still understand them, even though their language was corrupted because they were about to lose thei old Romanian origin and turned to Russians.It is situated next to the northern part of Romania, we are separated by a river called Prut.

It's Finnish, I can't believe no one figured that out. If people are so adamant that's its not, then Swedish is the only other logical alternative.

This is obviously a bad joke...
Just think about it, if you can find these lyrics on one site, you should be able to find them on some others... And what link has that wikipedia article?? It is taken from extraterrestrial space, from cosmos?  ))
No links, no nothing, my opinion is that is just a text made of many foreign and invented words.
What do you have to say in your defense, Propel? >:-)
