Just to illustrate this possibility:
If I search for "Fizika Wikipédia" (Physics Wikipedia in Hungarian) the
third result from the top is the Kikongo Wikipedia article - and there are
other cases where Google offers Wikipedia results in unexpected languages
especially if the search term's language and the Google interface language
mismatches or if accent marks are ignored.
