Oooh, this is fun: The Language Guesser. Paste in some text, click the button, and the Language Guesser will tell you what language it's in.
Of course you'll want something to use as a test, hmmm? Here's a bit of sample text for you to use:
Ja, vi elsker dette landet,
Som det stiger frem,
Furet, værbitt, over vannet,
Med de tusen hjem.
And here's another sample:
Isten álld meg a magyart
Jó kedvvel, böséggel,
Nyújts feléje védö kart,
Ha küzd ellenséggel;
Bal sors akit régen tép,
Hozz rá víg esztendöt,
Megbünhödte már e nép
A multat s jövendöt!
The above excerpts are from the national anthems of today's mystery nations. Can you guess what languages you're looking at there? The Language Guesser can.
