I got this idea from browsing the ZBB.

Just paste a sample text of your conlang into here: http://www.xrce.xerox.com/competencies/content-analysis/tools/guesser.en.html and the program tries to guess the language.

For Isimal, it guessed Finnish. (I predicted it would be a Turkic language and second choice, I thought Uralic language Very Happy )

For Dvarhrih it guessed Hungarian Very Happy

Who'd thought Very Happy

Holxws is Hungarian, Drumu is Estonian, Gaupasa is Latvian. It seems to always guess really obscure langs, could that just be because our conlangs are so strange?

For me:
Aert: Hungarian every time
S'aeryt: Catalan, Irish, Icelandic, Hungarian
Ylara: Catalan, Icelandic, Finnish, Turkish

Interesting the spread of language families there Surprised

I guess it can't understand order, or even sound, but I wonder how it works: a sample lexicon compared to the text? Accents (is on this, not on that)? What?

Dunno... but I tried translating the same text without the accent marks, and it still came out as Finnish, so accent marks didn't change the language for me. Maybe it identifies letter combinations?

I changed my two umlaut characters from an Ylara phrase and it changed from Finnish to Turkish ...

I would really like to know how this works!

I tried some other languages - I guess it doesn't always work Wink

Spanish: Spanish every time
Italian: Italian every time
French: French every time
Russian: Russian every time
Arabic: Arabic every time
Danish: Norwegian, Danish
Czech: Czech, Hungarian
Romanji texts: Czech, Indonesian, Slovakian
Hindi: Japanese every time (???)

So it looks like, the farther you get from Romance languages, the harder it is for the site to guess correctly. (However, Russian and Arabic are decently obvious as there aren't as many languages that use those scripts.)

Oo, that was fun!

For ra cel it repeatedly guessed Irish, then Portuguese, Hungarian, and Albanian (?!).
Tadvaradcel was Welsh and Irish a couple times, then German and Swedish.
Ualaxx repeatedly came out as Estonian, and then for whatever reason the last sentence was Latin.
Henmalg was overwhelmingly Swedish, and then I got a Welsh and Norwegian result.

So cool! I put that in my favorites. Razz

That was depressing...

Sentence:
Noe then nivo adgene Novede shes merenan Amyenon

I am a shameless man and I eat apples.

No matter how hard I tried to change the result it always came out as being... English...

Since when does English have about 4 to 5 grammatical cases and 3 genders?

I translated the "The Road not Taken" passage. And when I had the "é" it said Spanish. But without it, it said Slovakian.

I don't know in what ways it works, but maybe it recognized some words like "then" and "shes" as english?

I got Turkish, then with a different sample Hungarian. I bet the umlauted characters are messing with it <_<.

Here are a few famous conlangs:

Interlingua - Mostly Italian (Latin once and Spanish once)
Volapük - Always Estomian
Lojban - Mostly Slovenian (once Slovakian)

Quote:
Hindi: Japanese every time (???)


Shocked

When you enter it into the thing, you could try altering the words "then" and "shes", maybe it'll guess something different. (Not that that would be the correct way of writing your conlang but it would still be nearly the same structure)

Another thing - maybe it marks anything it doesn't understand as English, because I put in some random consonants and it said "English" Very Happy

That's hilarious, and seems rather likely. Laughing

Taru!

Il mem yibyazuzë! Ano žiki yibyazuzë memi tasil.

↑ Apparently that's Albanian.

Gigo!

Pibu beleduyowo dewapu yabu.

↑ Apparently that's Swahili

Wapo Gipo Mi Mi Mi

↑ And this is Esperanto.......

*Dies from laughter*

Languages in Use: Käläli, Emimupo, all the languages the boingies speak ( for the last one ). This is crazy!
