Method
A frequency analysis was performed on the headwords of the Dictionary of Frequently-Used Taiwan Minnan (as found in MoeDict). All sections were used except Japanese loanwords and idioms, but only main headwords were included (alternate readings were excluded). Each TRS was broken down into pre-sandhi syllables, yielding a total of 37,678 syllables, from which 2,128 unique syllables were counted. The syllables are sorted by frequency (count), then alphabetically, written in the original TRS, along with conversions to POJ and MTL.
