But, at least in English (the only language I speak fluently), all
potential combinations are _not_ distributed evenly. For example, of all
digrams in English TH occurs 3.15% of the time compared to LY's 0.47%. So
it seems to me that having a "favorite" sound would make a language _more_
natural, not less.
Does anyone know of a site that discusses a "normal" distribution of
letters/groups of letters?
