Phonological Similarity between Basque and Other World Languages Based on the Frequency of Occurrence of Certain Typological Consonantal Features
The aim of the present typological study of the Basque language based on the frequency of occurrence of consonants is to compare its sound chain to sound chains of various world languages. Then, one can construct typological distances between Basque and other world languages. The structure of the frequency of occurrence of consonants in the speech sound chain is a good clue of understanding the...

To calculate the disenfranchisement indices we use the Dyen percentage cognate matrix of linguistic distances between Indo-European languages and apply survey and population data on lan...
