Hi Donald,
it would be nice if your site could be added to the blogsphere reader!
I find your PCA analysis very interesting. In particular, I love methods that generate simple 2D plots and PCA seems excellent in this respect. One thing that isn't clear to me is why most graphs have an empty area around the origin: Figure 8 (Rohonc) seems to be the only exception to this.
The VMS graph seems to me comparable with several of the others, Italian and Rohonc (as you write) but also Georgian (Figure 6). It would be nice to have a quantitative way of measuring the similarity between these graphs, but I have no idea of how this could be done!
