Fig. 5. Syllables and the number of grafemas<br />

These categories of syllables cover over 82% of the total number of<br />

syllables, within the analyzed texts.<br />

By considering the length of the syllables included in Tab. 2, one can<br />

create a second Tab. 3, which shows the percentage of appearance of<br />

syllables with different lengths.<br />

Usage frequency (%)<br />

1 1.456<br />

2 30.789<br />

3 15.316<br />

4 2.539<br />

From the above table we can reach the following conclusions:<br />

- Syllables with one and four letters (1.456% and 2.539%<br />

respectively) have the lowest frequency in written texts.<br />

- Syllables which appear mostly with 30.789% are those having<br />

two letters, namely syllables with two graphems.<br />

- The second rated (by usage frequency) syllables with 15.316%,<br />

are those with three graphsems, which contain special two<br />

graphem letters such as: një, gji, shu etc.<br />
