Frequently-Used Taiwanese Monosyllables were collected from the Dictionary of Frequently-Used Taiwan Minnan (MoeDict).

Method

Python's collections.Counter was used to count the frequency of the MTL monosyllables taken from the first section of the dictionary:

  • as expected, many MTL match more than one row (1,813 unique MTL for 2,936 rows). This affects 39% of MTL and 62% of rows.
  • however, 61% of MTL and 38% of rows uniquely match one-to-one
  • 24% MTL match 2 rows (30% rows)
  • 10% MTL match 3 rows (18% rows)
  • 5% MTL match 4 to 6 rows (14% rows)
  • the most matched MTL are lie, ky, køf, which have 7 matches each, affecting <1% MTL and rows
