Overview

Randomized trial analyzes morpheme length in 55 corpora, suggesting new insights for writing system classification.

Key Points

  • To validate BPE Mean Vocabulary Morpheme Length as a classifier across diverse writing systems.
  • Expanded analysis of 55 deduplicated corpora from 25+ languages.
  • Computed three within-token metrics (BC, BPE-ratio, CBMI) across all corpora.
  • Confirmed the three-cluster structure from previous research using large controls (n ≥ 10,000).
  • Confirmed the alphabetic ceiling at 5.76 across controls (n ≥ 10,000).
  • Tagalog's VMML matches Voynich Manuscript but shows lower boundary concentration.
  • CBMI distinguishes gibberish from natural languages, with Voynich in an intermediate zone.
