FRENCH, ITALIAN, and SPANISH frequencies were taken from a count made by the author. All four counts are based on 10,000 letters of literary text, and the dropping of the decimal point gives the actual count. The frequencies given for GERMAN and PORTUGUESE are approximations, reduced from other texts, probably military. |
