Abstract	This article is about a new method which makes it possible to identify the language of a written document. The method is based on the analysis of simple descriptive statistics of the given text. These simple statistical features include things like average word length or consonant congestion. In order to measure the effectiveness of the method an application has been developed which can classify English, Hungarian, German, Spanish, Croatian, French and Norwegian documents by analysing the average word length, the ratio of certain characters, word endings and consonant congestion.
