hi all, is there any function to return us the lanuage of a word in the sentence? for example : My name is شهرزاد . when it sees شهرزاد notice that is a persian language. Thanks

How exactly would you expect this to work? I can't think of any way to be 100% sure what language a word is. For example, the word "computer" is a word which one could say comes from a roman language (which is around half of the european languages), but it's also present in _many_ others. In a very general way you could figure out what type of language it is by checking the UTF-8 codetable. Here's an overview: U+0000 ... U+007F: Basic Latin U+0080 ...
