This is a difficult one since many words are the same in more than one
language. You would also need a large pool of words with their
language listed so that you could compare each word in your string
with them and make a guess at the language.
The fact that the string is UTF has no real relavance to the language
in which the string is written, unless it is one of the non-latin ones. |

An UTF string can have characters of more than one languages. You can
find out what lanaguages are used by scanning & checking every
characters (see [mbstring] extension) and their codepages they're in. |

You can't. Only a person reading it could tell for sure what language
it is. If, however, you want to know the language a browser visiting
your site is configured to use you could look at the Accept-Language
header. |
