A unified messaging system includes a voice gateway server coupled to an electronics mail system and a private branch exchange (PBX). The voice gateway server provides voice messaging services to a set of subscribers. Within the voice gateway server, a trigraph analyzer sequentially examines 3-character combinations within a text message; determines occurrence frequencies for the character combinations; compares the occurrence frequencies with reference occurrence statistics modeled from text samples written in particular languages; and generates a language identifier and a likelihood value for the text message. Based upon the language identifier, a message inquiry unit selects an appropriate text-to-speech engine for converting the text message into computer-generated speech that is played to a subscriber.
