A sample of Czirehlat scored as Gheg [Albanian] (0.0456), followed by

I fed it a rather large sample of Rynnan Elvish -- one of my old
handwritten languages that I'm planning to revive one of these days -- with
interesting results. The highest score was Welsh (0.0820), followed by
Hungarian (0.0573), Finnish (0.0524), and Somali (0.0510). My old Elvish
languages were influenced more by Serbo-Croatian than anything else, but
apparently some Welsh/Finnish influence from Tolkien's Elvish languages
must have slipped through. :-)
The related Cythin Elvish language ended up as Hausa (0.0760), Italian
(0.0650), SerboCroatian (0.0628), and Scots (0.0621). Interesting that
Serbo-Croatian came up, but it's probably a coincidence, as the S-C
influence in my Elvish languages (which is mainly in the grammar) is
obscured by the spelling.
A few random samples:
Chispa scored as Choctaw (0.0663), followed by BasqueGuipuz (0.0570),
RomanschLadin (0.0507), and Kanjobal (0.0483).
Gjarrda -- Swahili (0.0674), Bikol (0.0373), Somali (0.0281), and Czech
(0.0279).
Kazvarad -- Inupiaq (0.0351), Somali (0.0295), Swahili (0.0258) and
Lithuanian (0.0249).
Kazat ?akkorou -- Welsh (0.0248), Aymara (0.0245), RomanschLadin (0.0244)
and BasqueGuipuz (0.0216).
Niskloz -- Tosk (0.0675), Gheg (0.0621), Finnish (0.0302), and Manx
(0.0291)
Olaetian (in the old romanization) -- Tzotzil (0.0375), followed by Welsh
(0.0299), Gheg (0.0274), and Hungarian (0.0261).
