Help in separating a multilingual file

Shell Programming and Scripting
1

Hello,
I have a text file running into around 100 thousand+ lines which has the following rigid structure:

Each field is separated by a comma.
Some examples are given below:

23,Chinttaman Pagare, 
24, Chinttaman Pateel, 
25, Chinttaman Rout, 
26, Chinttaman Yashawante,

I would like to extract the data such that all the English words are stored in one file and the other language words in another file. The numbers would be ignored.
I work under windows OS.
A script in AWK or PERL would be of great help.
Many thanks in advance

Harcoded output files to filea and fileb:

awk -F, '{ print $2 > "filea"; print $3 > "fileb"}' yourfile

Many thanks. I was really dumb. Using the comma as a delimiter I could have got the files out. Guess the enormity of the task put me in panic mode.
Many thanks for bringing me down to earth with a simple solution.
