The vowel system doesn’t sound very Slavic to me … but I do get some Russian overtones here, so I think the speaker is bilingual in Russian (or some other East Slavic language) and our target language, spoken somewhere in the area of the former Soviet Union.
I hear haywan, which is Arabic for “animal” and is borrowed into other Islamic languages. There is a clear Russian accent, so I think it is most likely a Central Asian Turkic language.
There possibly is ‘haywan’ and also ‘asfur’ (birds). I think I hear voiceless pharyngeal fricatives (ح). So maybe some Caucasian language spoken by Muslims is also a possibility.
It sounds both Slavic and Semitic at the same time (but a bit more Slavic than Semitic).
I think I’m hearing IE declension patt4rns, so Slavic seems more likely.

The mystery language is Rutul (мыхӏабишды), a Lezgic language spoken in the Republic of Dagestan in the southwest of Russia.
