如何检查字符集是德语还是印度语（可能是字符范围）

Question

I need to know if the given string is in German, Indian or Persian.

Checking for Lating or non-Latin, I simply use [a-zA-Z] regExp, but I don't know what should I do when I have two non-Latins and a German language.

Do we have any character-range other than [a-zA-Z], maybe with code range, if exists at all.

Something like this:

$string = "MyCharactersInGermanlanguage";

$res = preg_match("/[characterRangeOfgermanLanguage]/", $string);

Thanks in advanced.

Have you looked at the unicode support?
