Bigram frequencies in Turkish

This graph illustrates the frequency distribution of 2-grams (bigrams) in Turkish. The graph is composed of the top 500 2-grams. I have included the data for the top 100 2-grams below. Email me for a complete list.

Turkish is an agglutinative language and frequently uses suffixes. I expect the top 2-grams to correspond to the most frequently used suffixes. My expectation is confirmed by the data below. I will continue on this subject in another post.

Notes:
- Frequencies are computed from Hurriyet and Zaman newspapers using columnist articles between 2001 and 2011.
