Creepy. I like the Mi-go voices. I would like to use this in a game I want to run. Nice work.
Interesting, if you recognize it.

I believe this is the recording referred to in The Whisperer in Darkness by HP Lovecraft. The recording supposedly originated by Henry W. Akeley. Who is to say where this came from?
A haunting and beautiful piece of the Cthulhu Mythos.

The speed and pitch needs to be adjusted down 1/3, and then it this sounds very much like Swahili. The 1915 date would suggest it was one of the recordings that made it over as the First World War was starting to shut down the crossing borders as the colonial powers conscripted tribes to mimic their European conflict. I have no idea why this is being identified as part of a game or mythic civilization. Carl E. Akeley designed the African Wing of the American Museum of Natural History, invented the cement gun, modern taxidermy, and the Akeley motion picture camera used to film the realistic chariot races in the 1925 version of Ben Hur. Also Nanook and many early documentaries. A possible source of this wax recording was A.J. Klein, a friend of Carl Akeley who was also originally an upstate New Yorker, but who made his real home just outside Nairobi starting in 1910. The War caused A. J. to return to the States for about a year.
Likely the "Akeley" is Carl E. Akeley, and this is Swahili or Berber.
