Is this language spoken in Africa?

I was about to ask "is this a romanisation?" but "spoken in Siberia basically means "written in Cyrillic

Palatalisation (assuming it's romanised as "'") looks like it probably only occurs on dentals/alveolars, and it seems like there's vowel length and falling diphthongs, but possibly not rising diphthongs, which is pretty interesting

At least in this sample, there's a lack of uvulars, so I'd guess that means it's not Chukotko-Kamchatkan (I think they all have /q/ at least/), and it's definitely not Nivkh. I don't think it's Samoyedic either, because they either have a much larger vowel inventories or palatalisation much more frequently

Stab in the dark, is it one of the Paleosiberian languages?
You can tell the same lie a thousand times,
But it never gets any more true,
So close your eyes once more and once more believe
That they all still believe in you.
Just one time.
