IMHO it would mostly suffice, and indeed be interesting in itself, to
simply list all the two-letter (and three-letter) sequences in the text.
One usually has biases there too!  I dont think any natlang has so many
"nd", "dr" or "ndr" sequences as some of my conlangs.  I simply happen to
like those sequences; "ld" and "ldr" too.

Now for the real challenge: a letter-sequence-statistics plus
word-generator in javascript.  That might attract people to conlanging:
"enter some words or names, whose sound is pleasing/exciting/whatever to
your ear -- from one or several languages -- and klick the button!"
