What language were the people speaking when chanting in The Dark Knight Rises?
A number of times in the film, we hear chanting, singing (whatever it may be). At a key moment, when Bruce is ascending up and out of the prison, we learn what they are chanting is "rise."
What language are they speaking?
Best Answer
Deh-Shay Deh-Shay Bah-Sah-Rah is what they are chanting.
There are strong notions suggesting that it's Moroccan which translate to He Rises. He Rises. The guy in the movie says it means rise. I am guessing the chant is the motivation for the person to climb up which could literally mean "he rises" when the crowd are chanting.
This link also suggests that the language is Moroccan.

Answer 2
They chanted like,
Dey-shey dey-shey Bah-sur-rah bah-sur-rah.
If we translate the chant to Hindi, which closely means,
"long live, long live".
I think, Nolan would've chosen that phrase because the pitfall/prison portrayed in the movie is Mehrangarh Fort, located in India. So, I guess Nolan would be using the Hindi chant.
