I agree that the chances of decipherment are low, but I don't think the issue is the unknown language. If it's a cipher, candidate languages are obvious and not many. One can follow the approach that oshfdk described at #2. The problem "only" gets linearly more computationally intensive with the number of languages. The effort of guessing the correct cipher system doesn't change significantly, in my opinion.
