In the process of trying to figure out what language MILEGO STARTU I MIEKIEGO LADOWANIA is for someone, I stumbled upon the Xerox Language Guesser. It says it's Polish, but someone who's fluent in Polish says it's not, so I'm at a loss. The Xerox thing is pretty cool, anyways. It guessed Esperanto, Latin, and French right. But does anyone know what MILEGO STARTU I MIEKIEGO LADOWANIA means?

I'm guessing it is Polish--putting the various words of the quote into Google invariably is coming up with Polish sites...

it is polish only without diacritics. with them it would look like this: miłego startu i miękiego lądowania. it menas something like "a pleasant take-off and a gentle touchdown".

I loved that language guessed.

I put in the following rubbish which is sort of italian like, and it guessed italian.
Italia funicimo blasimmio unisessima boradecila

I put in the following rubbish which I thought was sort of latin like, and it guessed Latin
Fatino unomino santuminissimo belium fortisis

I put in the following rubbish which I thought was sort of spanish like, and it guessed Portuguese
Suesta amogo silio vastio muchiasas

Then I tried the following rubbish which I thought was sort of German like, and it guessed .... Latin
Hagendagendas Untin Vobottenun Dem Sagandaganunt

Haha, great fun.

I guess I can sorta see the Latin from the German, since -as, -em, and -unt are all Latin endings.

It will guess Chinese if you have Chinese characters. Not romanized Chinese. The same with Japanese. It won't recognize Romaji.

I plugged in "Tingnan mo ang langit na bughaw" and it said it was Irish. haha I tried other sentences and the closest it could get was Indonesian. (The language is Filipino, by the way)

Filipino's not on their list of languages it can guess (the list is underneath the entry box).
