they now have a classifier that lets you input random text and tells you the language it was probably written in.

Incidentally, Google Translate does this and starts guessing the source language as you start typing. I found it interesting that when you type a single character, w is guessed as Polish, i is Norwegian, s is Czech, e is Portuguese...

Frequency of first-character of words in those languages.
