Warao: An interesting and curious language isolate.
A short video which discusses the history of the Warao people and the uniqueness of the language itself, such as it's word order and the nature of its status as a language isolate. The video is entirely in English, which contains several written examples of Warao, but at no point does he attempt to speak it, likely to avoid the danger of butchering the pronunciation.
