Abstract Analysing Nordic persons' names with respect to language
identification is a very hard task, as the chosen group of
languages is closely related, but provides interesting insights into
the structure of names; it is also a task that has many applications
in information extraction, speech synthesis, and automatic
transliteration. In this paper we present and discuss results
obtained by statistical language modelling as well as by a
hand-crafted definite clause grammar. [Edit]
