1 and 7 no idea, sadly.
I think 2 is Albanian.
3 is probably Amharic (sorry, don't know enough to differentiate between languages of Ethiopia).
4 is some variant of Arabic.
5 is obviously Armenian (most likely Eastern Armenian)
6 should be from Bengali-Assamese continuum.
8 is either Turkish or Azerbaijani.
9 is likely from Mande family, but not a chance I can guess which language in particular.
10 is maybe Basque?
11, I mean come on.
8 is azerbaijani, turkish doesn’t have <ə>
also turkish doesn’t end words with -d -b -g or -c but don’t quote me on that there might be a few exceptions
Had a VERY long conversation with a Turkish friend about this as Wikipedia used to list a few Turkish words, e.g. *ad* “name” and *hac* “Hajj” as being spelled with voiced consonants *but pronounced as devoiced* /ɑt/ and /hɑtʃ/. I was politely informed that no, they are simply exceptions to the otherwise-pervasive final devoicing of final obstruents and are /ɑd/ and /hɑdʒ/, as confirmed by a very confused flurry of voice notes.
Anyway I now refer to Wikipedia as the Haç Foundation (itspronouncedhaç.org)
Vikipedi'nın kullandığı birkaç Türkçe kelime listelediği için, bir Türk arkadaşla bu konuda çok uzun bir konuşma yaptık, örn. "ad" ve "Hac", sesli ünsüzlerle yazıldığından, ancak /ɑt/ ve /hɑtʃ/ olarak telaffuz edildiğinden. Kibarca hayır olduğu konusunda bilgilendirildim, bunların yalnızca son engelleyicilerin aksi takdirde yaygın olan nihai yüksek sesle söylenmesinin istisnaları olduğu ve /ɑd/ ve /hɑdʒ/ olduğu, çok karışık bir sesli not telaşıyla doğrulandığı gibi.Her neyse, Vikipedi'dan artık Haç Vakfı (tr.itspronouncedhaç.org) olarak bahsediyorum.
The first ten languages in Google Translate’s language list (Akan, Albanian, Amharic, Arabic, Armenian, Assamese, Aymara, Azerbaijani, Bambara, Basque) plus English.
What do I win?
\- В английском языке «CH» образует звук «Ч», как в «chair» и «rich».
\- Значит, слово "желудок" произносится как "стомач"?
\- Нет, это произносится как "стомак".
\- Итак, как произносится слово "шампанское" "чампагнэ"?
\- Нет, это произносится "шампейн".
\- Тогда как насчет слова "машина"? "мачинэ", "макинэ" или "машинэ"?
\- Произносится "машин".
\- А как насчет слова "озеро"? Как произносится "лоч", "лок" или "лош"?
\- Произносится "лох".
\- Это так запутанно. Я задолбался

Oh yeah I should have gotten that from the ə lol... I speak Armenian and there are a few loans between Armenian and Azerbaijani (also Turkish influence too ofc) but nothing I could discern in this short a text
1 is Twi, though it's should be 2 words: Afehyia pa!
7 is Aymara, but it doesn't seem like a correct translation.
9 is Bambara, but the phrase seems to means happy birthday.
2 looks slavic ; 4 is some dialect of Arabic ; 5 looks Armenian ; and 8 definitely looks like Turkish ; and of course the bonus is American
I did it :)

No, you didn’t. Turkish doesn’t have X, Q, or Ə; and doesn’t end words with -d, -b, -g, or -c.
