At first it sounded like very relaxed standard Chinese based on my "initial" absorption or cognition of what similarities exist between Vietnamese and Mandarin (there are some...) like the "ugh" and "Chu" sounds and "ang" sounds - BUT there were some tones more typical of Vietnamese in there - "am's" and "rep's" and one or two (to my ear) tonal triplets (my wife has a masters degree in linguistics... we talk...) Vietnamese is tonally more complex than "the more elegant" Mandarin -- and this was definitely NOT Cantonese (which has longer vowel sounds...)
My vote (after over 10 listens to Nick's WAV file...) Is *Vietnamese*. > > > 1098 unID relaxed talking man 1534UT, didn't sound Chinese, and not //CNR1 > 6145kHz; no CNR11 parallels were available, and this signal was not > parallel to the CNR11 webstream.
