Zipf Law plots for ''Glory of the Kings'' (Ge'ez), the Torah (Hebrew), and the ''Quran'' (Arabic)

Summary[edit]

Description
English: Zipf law plot (frequency as function of frequency rank) for the words in three Afro-Asiatic ("Semitic") languages: Ge'ez, Hebrew, and Arabic.

The languages, texts and the frequency files are:

  • Ge'ez (Classical Ethiopian). Text of the Glory of the Kings (Kebra Nagast), a 14th century chronicle of Ethiopian kings, part of the Coptic Bible. Published by Michal Jerabek. In the SERA encoding, with numerals excluded. Sample: be'akWetEtu le'Igzi'AbHEr 'ab 'a`hazE kWulu webeweldu 'iyesus krstos [...] Syon baHr seged Hzbe 'ar`ad qdme seged Zan seged wdm 'ar`ad `amde Syon. File geez/gok/tot.1/gud.wfr (34291 words, N = 12272 distinct).
  • Hebrew. The first five books (Torah, Pentateuch) of the Hebrew Bible (Tanak). From the 10th century version (the Masoretic text) of the original, probably composed mainly around ~500 BCE from earlier texts. Obtained from the Sacred Texts site, maintained by John B. Hare In an ad-hoc single-byte encoding designed to look vaguely phonetic under an ISO-Latin-1 font: '¡' = alef, 'b' = bet, 'g' = gimel, '°' = sehva, 'ï'= hiriq, '¤' = dagesh/mapiq, etc.. With vowel points but without cantillation marks. Sample: b¤°rë¡s¹ïy± b¤ârâ¡ ¡°êlöhïym ¡ë± häs¤¹âmäyïm w°¡ë± hâ¡ârêþ w°hâ¡ârêþ [...] k¤âlhäy¤âmïym. File hebr/tav/tot.1/gud.wfr (original 66311 words, truncated/filtered to 35027 words, N = 12487 distinct).
  • Arabic. The Quran (~650 CE). Based on the Unicode Quran document from the Sacred Texts site, maintained by John B. Hare, with several corrections. Arabic Unicode characters were mapped into ISO latin-1 characters in a vaguely phonetic way. With short vowel marks, hamza, madda but without sukuns. Sample: bîsmî alllâhî alrrâµmânî alrrâµîymî alµâmdû lîllâhî râbbî al¿âlâmîynâ [...] tâttâ©î£ûwnâ mînhû sâkâräa wârîzqäa µâsânäa a¡înnâ fîy. File arab/quv/tot.1/gud.wfr (original 77411 words, truncated/filtered to 35027 words, N = 10762 distinct).
The word frequency files '*/*/*/gud.wfr' are available at the UNICAMP website. The original annotated full texts, before truncation/filtering, are in the companion files */*/org/main.src. The truncated/filtered texts -- one word per line, without punctuation -- are in */*/*/gud.tlw.
