<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Dear colleagues, I read a lot of interesting
discissions on different matters but never on phonostatistics. I wonder how one
can foresee the labial consonants being distributed in different world
languages. One should bear in mind that languages are different in all aspect. I
wonder if labial distribution is the same, no matter how different languages may
be. This is why I took the Aboriginal Australian language of Nunggubuyu and
compared it to other world languages. The results are rather unexpected, at
least for me. Looking forward to hearing your opinions, remain yours sincerely
