I've been lurking for months, but this has intrigued me. Using the text for
the conlang I last worked on, which uses randomly generated root words, the
identifier classified it as being Czech at a score of 0.0256, second choice
of Somali at 0.0234. For an a priori language to appear at least distantly
related to a real language is pretty impressive. Like I said, A Priori
language. It has no outside influences except me, and I don't know Czech or
Somali. Third and fourth runners up for it were Polish and Klingon,
amazingly enough. :) I wonder what Tit'xka would compare to, if
anything.... :) Too bad I don't have any samples from it anymore.
