@Smalyshev you are right that it shouldn't be random. Instead, we could establish a well known list of the fallback languages. I would argue that latin-based languages should be first in that list, followed by the "closeness" to latin alphabet - e.g. if there are no known latin-language, use the next script that has the highest number of speakers or the number of Wikipedia readers, but is the closest to Latin. E.g. Russian probably before Greek, but Greek before Chineese. Or something along those lines. It really doesn't matter what order we choose, as long as there is a way to get something. Having nothing is always the worst.
