I dunno.  I could only find 14 languages that begin with an 'r', and none sound like Rashayshay.

Rajasthani
Rarotonqan
Rhade
Rhaeto-Romance
Riffian
Rohinqva
Romanian
Romansh
Romany
Rumanian
Rundi
Rune Rows
Russian
Rawanda

Why didn't you ask the person you heard say it?  Or was it on TV?

oops! It wasn't one of my professors. It was a lecture by Elizabeth Vandiver. from The Teaching Company.

I'm guessing it was a french word, if not, I dunno.

Are you sure this wasn't something from a dream you had the night before?

I assume the word you heard was "recherche", which is pronounced "re-sher-shay". It's a proper French word meaning "to search for" or "to search for again", but it's used in English to describe someone or something that is very elegant and refined, often to the point of being a bit pretentious or obscure - that is, it's something that has been "researched" on purpose, rather than being something everyone naturally knows.

Hope that helps and it's not too late: I've been on holiday and not checked the forum for a while...

In fact  recherché (with é) have the same meaning than in english,something elegant ,"raffiné" = studied, or affected. But recherché meaning also =wanted ,like in western movies. To search=rechercher,        To search for = chercher  , and seek for = rechercher ,chercher.
