Abstract

Systems and processes for language identification from short strings are provided. In accordance with one example, a method includes, at a first electronic device with one or more processors and memory, receiving user input including an n-gram and determining a similarity between a representation of the n-gram and a representation of a first language. The representation of the first language is based on an occurrence of each of a plurality of n-grams in the first language and an occurrence of each of the plurality of n-grams in a second language. The method further includes determining whether the similarity between the representation of the n-gram and the representation of the first language satisfies a threshold.
