Not really, because multiple source languages may be compiled to the same IR language, and conversely a given source language can be compiled to different IRs.
For example Java bytecode (a particular IR) can encode programs written in many languages - Java, Scala, etc. But Java source code can also be compiled to another IR, such as the Dalvik bytecode used by Android.
