Now that Eli has suggested a direction of your search, I’ll go in and
suggest another.

The general problem you’re solving is that of encoding detection.
There exist ready-made solutions for that, e.g. by computing byte
frequencies and matching them against known character frequencies in
your language. One of these is called enca.

Googling for “emacs enca” yields a post by Dmitriyi Paduchikh in
gnu.emacs.sources, dated 2007.
