[Corpora-List] distances between languages based on phonostatistics

[J Washtell]

Hello,

I don't know much about this area, but as coincidence would have it, I  
have been  stumbling across quite a few references to "Linguistic  
Distance" in my recent searches. A quick search for "Linguistic  
Distance", with "Phonology" or "Phonological" in Google reveals the  
following which seem revelant to you:

I expect you're way way ahead of me, but just in case this should help :-)

Kind regards,
