[Lingtyp] question about sound alternation/change

[Sven Grawunder]

Dear Eitan,

we checked (for our paper on sound changes in Vilela) with a similar 
question the ASJP-database (asjp.clld.org). See specifically the related 
paper of Brown, Holman & Wichman 2013 for sound changes:
The t͡ʃ > t sound change ranks at the 3rd place among the top 50 most 
frequent changes. c > t would be at rank 7.
Hope this helps,
Sven
