Dear Dmytro,

Your list would be very interesting to me. I regard distribution lists to be
the way to solid linguistic research of the language of the canon.

Best regards,

Ole Pind

Emne: Re: [Pali] most common words?

Hello James,

> Pali Canon" .
> is there such a list?

Besides already mentioned link, you can find extended lists in the thread
http://www.lioncity.net/buddhism/index.php?showtopic=19624

Besides, I have a list of top 50000 Pali words with numbers of their
occurences in Digha, Majjhima, Samyutta, Anguttara, Khuddaka Nikayas and
Vinaya, and overall number. I can put it on website if necessary.

This approach can be an instrument of determining the relative age of Pali
texts.

Regards,
Dmytro
