It doesn't sound like Portuguese to me at all. :)
Like Guiseppo, I'd bet it's eo, due to the weird mixture of Romance-sounding words with pronuncition of something that resembles to a Germanic language.
Jordi, who has never heard spoken Esperanto before.

I thought I'm the one who has similar feelings ;)

I can hear there some Polish/Slovakian/Czech words too (at least that's something which I think it is).

I have never heard Esperanto too ;)

Humm,
it sounds very very strange but seems like an German-like people trying to speak Portuguese. Something about school and religion. Some (many) words i really can't understand because the Portuguese (and maybe foreign words mixed in the middle) sounds like the German in that TV series "Allo-Allo" :-)
Best regards,

Vorlon/Steve Langasek found : lot of us know him as an impressive speaker of several languages (Spanish, Portuguese, French, Catalan and a bit of Czech, some English, plus those I forget) as well as The Man Who Made Bidi in D-I.
This seems to be the Surmiran dialect of Romansch. Romansch is a set of languages spoken in the Chur "canton" of Switzerland and is a Latin-Roman languages with some Germanic things in it. It is the 4th official language of Switzerland.
From #debian-women, where helix/Erinn Clark bringed that topic:
21:56 < vorlon> here we go. It's the Surmiran dialect of Romansch. :) http://www.liarumantscha.ch/rr/ruidioms.html 21:57 < Baby> :) 21:57 < helix> vorlon: how can you tell? 21:57 < vorlon> helix: because it's the only dialect that uses "pi" < plus instead of "pü" or "pli". 21:58 < helix> ahhh 21:58 < helix> we will have to thank JHM for his hint 21:58 < helix> and you can thank me for this semi-pointless but fun diversion 21:59 * vorlon grins
Now, guys and girls, back to work..:-). I'm currently testing D-I in *all* langauges..:-). You folks (there are girls in some teams, Erinn) did such a great job.
