#24 isn't in Standard Mandarin, is it? Do you know what it is?
Oh hey, I didn't notice at first! Listening, the biggest note it that it didn't undergo the formation of the q j x series of sounds, and seems to only have one set of sibilants? (So only c z s, no ch zh sh, even.) Based on the pronunciation of 一 as "jat" and a few other characters (星火) matching, it might be Cantonese? (Someone more knowledgeable than me please help.)

EDIT: It's Cantonese! Putting the hanzi through a converter into jyutping (pinyin equivalent for Cantonese) produced the sounds sung.
