Help with language samples

[Celso Alvarez Cáccamo]

Hello all,

For my introductory classes (Linguistics, and, this semester, Language, Discourse and Communication) , I have been collecting a number of short (a few seconds to a minute) language samples from TV in order to illustrate aspects of human communication or structure (mostly phonology and phonetics). But I haven't dared to identify some of the languages, and I'm requesting your help with this. The video fragments are (provisionally) in this page (just excuse the basic formatting):

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/3997668/LDM/index.htm

Videos are MP4. Most segments are subtitled in Spanish (one or two, in Portuguese). Just click and a separate window should open. I need help to identify only the numbered samples, from 1 to 38. Most are from pieces of news in location. In 1-2, I have no information. In others, I only  know the country, but I cannot assume which language the speaker was using. In samples 15-38, I use question marks (e.g. Tonga ?, Hindi ?), or use such useless labels as "Chinese", as I don't know whether that's Mandarin or not.

I would appreciate any help. Please reply to my account, lxalvarz at udc.es , just indicating the sample number and the language. You may use these fragments freely, too, in case you find any useful.

Thank you very much,
