Language Guesser

A global challenge to identify written languages from random Wikipedia excerpts.

1. The Data

The text is fetched in real-time from the Wikipedia API.

Wikipedia exists in over 300 languages, from widely spoken ones like Mandarin and Spanish to endangered ones like Cree and Inuktitut.

2. Identification Clues

How can you tell languages apart?

• Script: Is it Latin (A-Z), Cyrillic (Д-Я), Arabic (ي-ا), or Hanzi/Kanji?
• Diacritics: Unique accents like ñ (Spanish), ç (French/Turkish), å (Nordics), ę (Polish).
• Common Words: Articles like "the", "le", "der", "het".

3. Scoring
