Being used to hearing a lot of languages, I don't think it sounds anything like arabic... People I've shown it to say it sounds Dutch, but I disagree with that too. It's actually a bit unique to me.

The BBC Alba countdown is very different.
-
at the firts time, i thought it was from middle east :S it sounds arabic...

Well done, but it's also Gàidhlig for Dublin. Just like 'Roma' is both Spanish and Italian for 'Rome.
It is an international news programme, that's why you'll also Baghdad, Washington DC, Paras (Paris), An Ròimh (Rome), Delhi, Beijing, Moscow and Lunnainn (London) appear, among other cities, I can't make out...

@edbutler07 It's got Glasghu as well i've just noticed....

@edbutler07 It's giving the impression it is global rather then regional....

Hmmm... If you look at the Scottish parliament Website in Scots it's really very different from standard English - might as well be Portguese v. Spanish.
I also met some old (now deceased) Doric farmers as a boy, and, really, it was very difficult to follow what they were saying, even to someone who had been brought up in Aberdeen.

Perhaps because the newscast is trying to cover all of the gaelic linguistic areas.
-
Why at about 1.28 does it say Baile Atha Cliath in the bottom right? It's the Irish for Dublin...
It's An LÀ, not An Lá, which is Irish. (It's also spelt as Latha, pronounced 'laa'.)
