It's a video for English speakers, to show what English would sound like to a non English speaking person . So while it does have a few real English words in it, most of the video contains made up words that sound like real English words.

Just out of interest what other languages do you speak? Hindi and Urdu or something?

first language is hindi/urdu mix i think it's called hindustani dialect of hindi(?) but i can read and write both languages anyway

second language is punjabi, i can also speak a little bit of kashmiri (can't read/write it though, not in nastaliq script anyway)
