Certainly, since that's a property of the document.
Here's a quick example:
====
tell application "BBEdit"
set docLang to source language of text document 1
if (docLang is missing value) then set docLang to "Plain text"
end tell
====
[NB: One potential complication is that since a plain text document has no
language name, AppleScript will return `missing value`; thus, I used line 3
to handle this case.]
