Zipf law plot (frequency as function of frequency rank) for various texts.
The languages, texts and the word frequency files are:
[[Arabic language|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 8859-1|ISO latin-1]] characters in a vaguely phonetic way. '''With''' vowel marks, hamza, madda but '''without''' sukuns.
* Whole text. 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 ''[[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 8859-1|ISO latin-1]] characters in a vaguely phonetic way, with joined articles. Version '''with''' short vowel marks, sukuns, hamza, and madda.
* Whole text. Sample: ''bîs°mî alllâhî alrrâµ°mânî alrrâµîymî al°µâm°dû lîllâhî râbbî'' [...] ''a!ân° attâ©î£îy mîn° al°jîbâalî bûyûwtäa''. File arab/quf/tot.1/gud.wfr (original 77394 words, truncated/filtered to 35027 words, ''N'' = 10935 distinct).
The ''[[Quran]]'' (~650 CE). Electronic phonetic transliteration from [[University of Southern California|USC]]'s Muslim Student Union, transliterated again into [[ISO 8859-1|ISO latin-1]] characters. The result, particularly short vowel marks, is partly guessed. The subtler phonetic marks (sukuns, hamzas, maddas, alef-maksura, teh-marbuta etc.) were lost.
* Whole text. Sample: ''bîsmî allâhî alrrâµmânî alrrâµymî alµâmdû lîllâhî râbbî al¿âlâmynâ'' [...] ''wâmâ''. File arab/qph/tot.1/gud.wfr (original 77845 words, truncated/filtered to 35027 words, ''N'' = 9434 distinct).
The ''[[Quran]]'' (~650 CE). Electronic version of unknown provenance, without short vowel marks or sukuns, in a vaguely phonetic transliteration into [[ISO 8859-1|ISO latin-1]] characters.
