266 distinct finals were found in the main entries of ''[[Dictionary of Frequently-Used Taiwan Minnan]]''. First, 17,916 rows in the two main sections (starting with #1 & #50001) were considered. Each [[TRS]] word was separated into [[syllable]]s, yielding a total of 35,859 syllables, from which 2,080 distinct syllables were counted. Each syllable was then converted into MTL and broken into initial and final parts. Finally, the finals were counted.
* 266 distinct finals were found
* The ten most frequent finals (across the headwords) are: {{x|ar}}, {{x|ie}}, {{x|eeng}}, {{x|ii}}, {{x|ofng}}, {{x|i}}, {{x|efng}}, {{x|ix}}, {{x|o}}, and {{x|af}} tied with {{x|aau}}. ''Ar'' was found 997 times, ''af'' and ''aau'' 395 times.

* The nine least frequent, found only once, are: {{x|oafng}}, {{x|ob}}, {{x|om}}, {{x|oom}}, {{x|vaai}}, {{x|vau}}, {{x|viao}}, {{x|voq}}, {{x|vuix}}.
