Abstract : Language identification is used to categorize the language of a given document. Language identification categorizes the contents and can have a better search results for a multilingual document. In this work, we classify each line of text to a particular language and focused on short phrases of length 2–6 words for 15 Indian languages. It detects that a given document is in multilingual and identifies the appropriate Indian languages. The approach used is the combination of n-gram technique and a list of short distinctive words. The n-gram model applied is language independent whereas short word method uses less computation. The results show the effectiveness of our approach over the synthetic data.
