    It detects Serbian language if words are written in Cyrillic alphabet.

    In my case, both surnames written on Cyrillic alphabet - Serbian, on Latin alphabet - Bosnian.

    There are multiple places of origin for my surname, and I haven't traced where my ancestors came from before they settled in the US so I can't say for sure if the origin is right or wrong.
    However, my mother's maiden name is correct—Norwegian.

    Maternal – Corsican (wrong, the origin is Greek)
    Paternal- Romanian. When I write it the way I’ve seen this surname written in old documents, it says Polish.

    On detectlanguage.com
    Father: Serbian (it's almost an only Serbian surname, curiously a shorter version is exclusively Croatian, and I saw another similar version among Jews from eastern europe)
    Mother: Croatian (it's a common surname both among Croats and Serbs)

    Father: Arabic
    Mother: Arabic

    This is when I wrote it in perso-arabic script. Both make sense I suppose.

    When written in Latin script I got Swahili for my father and Hindi for my mom.

    Mother:
    English (wrong)

    Father:
    Latin script: Slovenian (wrong)
    Cyrillic: Russian (wrong)

    Nice

    Edit: BUT, if I give it an extra o in between two of the letters, which might actually be the original spelling, it says Bulgarian. So that's something, I guess.
