I have also sent the audio to the Bulgarian native speakers yahoo group, begging for help in exchange for service as a native english speaker (which they want). Let's hop they help out.

Bulgarian
I talked to a professor at Berkeley, and she says that the language is Bulgarian. She's forwarding the email to a native speaker to hopefully translate.

translation
I have some past connections to the University of Illinois' Slavic and Eastern European Library. I've emailed a person there to see if she can help. I'll let you know what she finds.

Chuckles' soybeans - Beeville, TX mPathytest - south New Jersey Gracesmom - NH Illiana - nw Indiana what other characters have known locations? Also, make sure you're adding yourself as a person,not a waypoint. Posted: Wed Apr 25, 2007 4:24 pm |

I guess I'll share my thoughts:
She seems to speak a variant on Russian - maybe Belarusian (a random guess). Unfortunately I do not speak any slavic language, therefore all I can do is guess upon similarities I believe having found. Does anyone speak Belarusian to prove me (or prove me wrong)? Posted: Wed Apr 25, 2007 3:42 pm |

I knew chances were slim it was Bosnian, but I thought maybe she would recognize what dialect it was. If your friend couldn't, however, I doubt mine could. Posted: Wed Apr 25, 2007 3:38 pm |

I doubt it's Bosnian. My roommate downstairs emigrated to Turkey out of Bosnia when the conflict started. She'd recognize Bosnian for sure.

This may not help at all, but my best friend is Bosnian and the language on the Nico video sounds vaguely like the Bosnian language. Bosnian is a Slavic language, so I guess that would reinforce the theory that the audio on the video is some type of Slavic language.
I seriously doubt that it is Bosnian, but I'll have my friend listen to the audio - in any case, maybe she'll be able to shed a bit more light on it. ~ Aoi Posted: Wed Apr 25, 2007 2:55 pm |

mpathy has a new away message:
THEORY!: nico defected from some foreign operatives to the United States. they let him go at the time and didn't pursue him because he wasn't important enough to risk international incident. this foreign power wants nico to "come home" to their own government now that he knows something of value (regarding the oil situation). what do you guys think?

Apparently not Kyrgyz
Amira <amirabook> Wed, Apr 25, 2007 at 10:54 AM
To: Rumple Toe <rumpletoe> I'm not a native speaker of Kyrgyz. And you're right, it's hard to find native speakers who have internet access. I can't even think of any of my Kyrgyz friends who would be able to access this very well. I'm sorry I can't be more help.

Kyrgyzstani Baseball and my turkish roommate...
So my roommates downstairs are from Turkey, and one also spent time living in Albania. They confirmer it's not Turkish, not Russian, not Albanian. But definitely slavic. So I'm betting it is kyrgyz, especially given that everySunday, Novelle Wornyuk, is from Kyrgyzstan. So I found the blog of a kyrgyzstani cardinals fan, sent him the audio, and asked him to translate for some baseball cards or a hat or something. If he does it, I'll send it to him. Seems like a fair trade.

Mp3 of Nico Message
Stripped out just the <slavic> component of the message. You can snag it off my LJ. Download once, distribute many please, my bandwidth is limited and I'd hate to have to take it down prematurely.
