<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Dear Corpora colleagues, I'm studying the
frequency of occurrence of sounds (phonemes) at the beginning and end of the
word in different world languages now. I wonder if you can tell me who
studies it and where it is published. In many Turkic languages the frequency of
some groups of consonants and vowels is quite different at the beginning and end
of the word. So far, I have studied Turkish, Tatar-Baraba, Tatar-Kazan', Uyghur,
Jukut, Bashkir and Turkmen. I'm going to compare their data to the languages of
TUngus-Manchurian and Mongolian family. All of them to Japanese and Korean or
Chinese. I wonder if the data on the languages mentioned above have been
published? Looking forward to hearing from you to <A
