Dear Masha,
there is probably some information of that kind in the following book:
Касевич В.Б., Яхонтов С.Е. (ред.). Квантитативная типология языков Азии и
Африки. Л., 1982.

(See also a later paper by Kasevich:
https://cyberleninka.ru/article/v/o-kvantitativno-tipologicheskih-indeksah-dlya-harakteristiki-vostochnyh-yazykov
)

Best,
Timur Maisak
