Re: Higher frequency of coded Chinese in Polish(?)



Thanks for confirming it's Polish. I have no idea what the language your example is, but there are 6 Big 5 Chinese characters in that very short section, which suggests it could be Japanese (the Chinese characters being kanji) or Korean, but that's just a guess. I don't know whether the encoding systems for Japanese and Korean coincide with Big 5 for the Chinese characters those languages share though.

Well, what about _this_ language:

(I'll spare you the rest, because I am not very fluent
in it either). Can anyone guess what it is?
