FWIW, here are two links that have lists of common words for some
languages:

* http://www.marquardt-home.de/auto-lang.el 
  (no frequencies, usable for stop words)

* http://www.grassouille.org/code/sources/guess-lang-0.1.tar.gz
  (including frequencies, see guess-lang-0.1/share/dictionnaries/ in
  the tarball)

Cheers,
