> the total of the speech sound chains gives us the sound picture of dialects and languages. We measure the distances with the help of the chi-square values. However, in the Internet or journals I never found such distances. Does it mean that only I measure them? Of course the linguistic distances may be based on the data of lexico-statistics or other features. Why not phonetic pictures? Am I correct? Hope you can share your opinions by writing me to yutamb at mail.ru  Be well, yours sincerely Yuri Tambovtsev, Novosibirsk, Russia
