Hi gang,
An idle question. English has a relatively low entropy as a
language. Don't recall the exact figure, but if you look at words
that start with "q" it is very low indeed.
What about other languages? Does anyone know the relative entropy
of other alphabetic languages? What about the entropy of
ideographic languages? Pictographic? Hieroglyphic?
Thanks,
Allen
