27 * @short GuessLanguage determines the language of a given text.
28 *
29 * GuessLanguage can determine the difference between ~75 languages for a given string. It is
30 * based off a Perl script originally written by Maciej Ceglowski <maciej@ceglowski.com>
31 * called Languid. His script used a 2 part heuristic to determine language. First the text
32 * is checked for the scripts it contains, then for each set of languages using those
33 * scripts a n-gram frequency model of a given language is compared to a model of the text.
34 * The most similar language model is assumed to be the language. If no language is found
35 * an empty string is returned.
