Module language 

Available on crate feature language-detection only.

Which language a text is in: music21’s LanguageDetector, with the language-detection feature. Which language a text is in, by the letters that follow each pair of letters: music21’s text.LanguageDetector and text.Trigram.

Each language is known by a long text in it, the excerpts music21 carries from Project Gutenberg (in src/features/language/, as music21 has them). A text is compared with each by how alike their counts of letter-after-two-letters are, and is in the language it is most like.
