Hint: It's an Austroasiatic language spoken in Cambodia and Vietnam. You might pick this up from the shape of the verb (temmop) and the word for forest (which resembles the Khmer /prey/ ព្រៃ.)
By the way, if you want to learn more about languages like this, the Mon-Khmer Studies Journal is an excellent (open access) place to start: www.mksjournal.org Edited by viedums on 09 May 2012 at 4:18pm 1 person has voted this message useful | |

Well, sorry, but that's good,I think my language was to hard to answer anyway, it's actually Austro-Asiatic language too - Va from a Chinese textbook (Most Va live in Burma(800 000), and the rest in China(400 000).
thanks for the link. unfortuanly I am unable to answer it this time, because it seems to not be Va. 1 person has voted this message useful | |

hmm. so my sencond guess is Bahnaric.
As it's spoken in this area (Cambodia, Vietnam). If not... then... Khmu? if not I give up! 侬去买点啥物事 nong qi ma di sa mek zi? What are you going to buy? Edited by clumsy on 14 May 2012 at 3:35pm 1 person has voted this message useful | |

Close, but Bahnaric is not a language, it's a grouping within Mon-Khmer. The answer is Bunong, also known as Phnong or Mnong. In Cambodia's Mondulkiri province, the majority of the population speaks it.
I'll pass on your sentence, however it would be nice if you would indicate tones if there are any (since it looks Sinitic...) Edited by viedums on 14 May 2012 at 4:22pm 1 person has voted this message useful | |

well actually I am afraid they were not indicated in the textbook.
Anyway it uses two characters which are specific for this Chinese Dialect-language. The sentence is from a textbook, but the language is not generally written like most Chinese non standard languages. I will add word to word: 侬去买点啥物事 nong qi ma di sa mek zi? you go buy (?) what thing? What things are you going to buy? 
Translation: What are you doing? I am watching tv. Mother: it's so late! tomorrow you have to go to school! it's not sunda tomorrow, go fast... THe language has ~70 - ~ 100 speakers (lack of current data), so it's quite an easy question. Edited by clumsy on 14 May 2012 at 6:23pm 1 person has voted this message useful |
