No matter how good your list of words, it won't be good enough. However, it would be interesting to look at an AI approach that used the word lists along with some knowledge of grammer to implement an AI alg. I know a previous poster had said AI is a failure, but I think an AI approach may serve you well here. I'm thinking about some kind of neural network might actually do a decent job.
Between knowing that most will be German, having word lists, etc, I feel like you could put together a relatively successful neural net to guess the language of a word. Of course it won't be error free, but I bet whatever your solution is to this hum-dinger, it will contain some errors.
Good luck! This is a terrific problem and I'd love to know how you solve it.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
