Looks like it's definitely something Scandinavian.

your passage is too short to define for sure... what about Lapp, and not Scandi ?

I guess it's some mixture of Swedish and something else.
"usäkerta ika" meaning "not certain"?
maybe it's Icelandic or Faroyese - I do not really know.
It is definitely of Scandinavian origin, even if it is just an imitation of "viking sounds" in some pc game.

maybe these are old Norse runes read by a modern speaker of Swedish?

It really sounds like Icelandic, but not Faroese. In Faroese, for example, "ke" reads like "che". There is no long "i", it reads "uy" :) And so on.

Than you must understand it, I suppose. You speak nynorsk, as far as I know.

Just for your information: Swedish for 'not' is 'inte', and Islandic for the same is 'ekki'.

Just for your information: if you think that Norwegian has ONLY "ikke", are you wrong :)
they have plenty of variants - ikke, ikkje, itte, itj, inte, etc etc etc..
some dialects of Swedish have ikke as well..

actually I've listened to the file once again.. it may be Saami or some other language from Ugric family, why not? :)

I cannot understand languages I have never heard..
no unprepared speaker of Norwegian understands written/spoken Icelandic, though they all understand nynorsk.  ;-)

I can't download the file anymore.
Icelandic kk is pronounced with a "h". eHki. If it isn't so in this sample, than it isn't Icelandic

the one told you so from the very beginning. stretching the borders of someone's own experience allows us to avoid all that self-delusions about the german origin of the sample mentioned...
