| I've identified the language as some version of the [[w:Folopa_language]], a Papua New Guinea language.
| |
| Some examples: ''sirapo'' is, according to one source I found, roughly "I have it". ''sirapo'' gets used in a number of compounds as well. ''-po'' at the end of many sentences is pretty characteristic both of the Rivenese and of Folopa, as it seems that ''-po'' is a marker for an indicative sentence, and Folopa is primarily verb final. Also, I found one reference (which I can't find right now) that the Folopa word for "book" is ''buku'' - Cho says this many times, though he seems to pronounce it variably, pronouncing the /u/ as /o/. I dunno if this is due to the actor not being an actual speaker of the language, a dialect difference, or an ideolect difference. I suspect the first, since Cho's body language seems a bit out of sync with the dialog.

| Of course, I am merely matching up stuff I found on the internet, and have no real exposure to Folopa, So feel free to take all of the above with a grain of salt.
