An unknown language with a known implementation ?

Hi

Given the specification and source code of a programming language
implementation that is, interpreter (for a virtual machine), runtime
libraries and extensions, plus compiled programs. I'd like to learn
about the language that this implementation was made for.

Is this possible? Mayby someone could clarify or express the problem
for me more clearly.. and possible solutions.

best wishes
marten
