I'm mesmerized by Kanno-san's latest foray into the "creepy-New-Age-whispering" song. Anime smile
What language is this in? Looknig at the lyrics at animelyrics.com, I'm inclined to think it's some European-based language, perhaps Russian. But I know Kanno-san is fond of creating her own languages, so is it even a language at all?

Many thanks for answeing my inquiry.

I'm pretty sure it's russian, I had a couple years of it and recognized a bunch of the words. If not russian, it's a related slavic language.

It's Russian, but it's rather bad Russian; it sounds like they had a Japanese text, took a Japanese-Russian dictionary, and just translated things word-for-word without giving thought to how natural it would sound.
