Hallo!
I have found the following text in the lyrics of the latest Nightwish
album and wonder what language it is. It is certainly not Finnish
(the band is from Finland, and another song on the album is in Finnish);
I guess it is some North American Indian language because in the
booklet,
it is printed next to a photo of an Indian.
It starts thus:
Hanhepi iyuha ihanbla ohinni yelo
Òn sunkmanitutankapi hena,
sunkawakanpi watogha hena,
oblaye t`ankapi oihankesni hena
T`at`epi kin asni kiyani he
akatanhanpi iwankal
...
Greetings,
Jörg.
