Abstract
This chapter defines a Discrete-Time and Continuous-Time Markov
Chain Process aimed to identify the language used to write a text. This is a brief
introduction to show the usefulness of both random walks in the recognition of a
language, and how these methods can lead to deepen the recognition using other
possible structural language. An example is established and solved from diphthongs
of the English language
